This is the first encyclopedia to focus exclusively on the many
aspects of the American beauty industry, covering both its diverse
origins and its global reach. The American Beauty Industry
Encyclopedia is the first compilation to focus exclusively on this
pervasive business, covering both its diverse origins and global
reach. More than 100 entries were chosen specifically to illuminate
the most iconic aspects of the industry's past and present,
exploring the meaning of beauty practices and products, often while
making analytical use of categories such as gender, race,
sexuality, and stages of the lifecycle. Focusing primarily on the
late-19th and 20th-century American beauty industry—an era of
unprecedented expansion—the encyclopedia covers ancient practices
and the latest trends and provides a historical examination of
institutions, entrepreneurs, styles, and technological innovations.
It covers, for example, the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire,
as well as how Asian women today are having muscle fiber removed
from their calves to create a more "Western" look. Entries also
explore how the industry reflects social movements and concerns
that are inextricably bound to religion, feminism, the health and
safety of consumers and workers, the treatment of animals, and
environmental sustainability.
