From 1880 to 1920, the first truly national visual culture
developed in the United States as a result of the completion of the
Pacific Railroad. At that time, a new level of invention,
reproduction, and distribution of all kinds of images was taking
shape. Women, especially young and beautiful ones, found new lives
shaped by their participation in that visual culture. This rapidly
evolving age left behind the cult of domesticity that reigned in
the nineteenth century to give rise to new types of women based on
a single feature--a type of hair, skin, dress, or prop--including
the Gibson Girl, the sob sister, the stunt girl, the hoochy-coochy
dancer, and the bearded lady. Exploring both high and low culture,
from the circus and film to newspapers and magazines, this
intriguing volume examines depictions of women at the dawn of mass
media, depictions that would remain influential throughout the
twentieth century.
