The unexpected story of an essential 18th and 19th century
accessory This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on
pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into
the social history of women's everyday lives-from duchesses and
country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen-and to explore their
consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and
identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the
past, bringing women's stories into intimate focus. "What
particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which
women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as
a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through
a world that was not built to suit them."-Kathryn Hughes, The
Guardian "A riveting book . . . few stones are left
unturned."-Roberta Smith's "Top Art Books of 2019," The New York
Times "A brilliant book."-Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement
