Download or read book Silk Stockings and Socialism written by Sharon McConnell-Sidorick and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1920s Jazz Age is remembered for flappers and speakeasies, not for the success of a declining labor movement. A more complex story was unfolding among the young women and men in the hosiery mills of Kensington, the working-class heart of Philadelphia. Their product was silk stockings, the iconic fashion item of the flapper culture then sweeping America and the world. Although the young people who flooded into this booming industry were avid participants in Jazz Age culture, they also embraced a surprising, rights-based labor movement, headed by the socialist-led American Federation of Full-Fashioned Hosiery Workers (AFFFHW). In this first history of this remarkable union, Sharon McConnell-Sidorick reveals how activists ingeniously fused youth culture and radical politics to build a subculture that included dances and parties as well as picket lines and sit-down strikes, while forging a vision for social change. In documenting AFFFHW members and the Kensington community, McConnell-Sidorick shows how labor federations like the Congress of Industrial Organizations and government programs like the New Deal did not spring from the heads of union leaders or policy experts but were instead nurtured by grassroots social movements across America.
Download or read book A Glimpse of Stocking written by Yvonne Deutch and published by Michael O'Mara Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tights or pantyhose are not new! They were invented originally in red and blue for the comfort of people wearing chain mail mini-skirts, laying siege to Jerusalem (and they were men). The voluminous and complicated undergarments worn by women seemed not to require any sort of hosiery more demanding than the stocking for the next three hundred years, although the ingenuity that went into the design of various suspender garments rivalled that of the major engineering feats of the 19th Century. This intriguing and amusing book looks at the history of leg-wear and its accessories through the ages with the aid of beautiful pictures, original advertising and stunning images from the media. A remarkable little history of the fashion essential.

Download or read book Swinging Single written by Hilary Radner and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics and defenders alike connect today's widespread anxieties about sexuality and culture to the political activism of the 1960s and the counterculture's preoccupation with the individual pursuit of pleasure. In contrast, the essays in Swindling Single attribute the new sexual mores of that era not to its political upheavals but to a confluence of social, cultural, and economic factors that encouraged personal gratification and altered traditionally defined gender roles. Contributors analyze a broad range of topics: the commercialization of avant-garde and exploitation films; new visions of female sexuality in That Girl and The Avengers; the social context of such cultural icons as Hugh Hefner and Charles Manson; the intersection of race and sexuality in Eldridge Cleaver's Soul oil Ice; and depictions of sexual pleasure in pornography and scientific films.
