The tumultuous events during and after two world wars changed
society forever.The new status of women no longer prepared to be
tied to the home, a major re-adjustment of the class system, the
pill and new sexual mores. Clothes and fashion played an important
role in perceptions of social advancement, and man-made textiles
supplied modern fabrics inexpensive enough to open up mass markets.
They provided the easy-care demanded by the new consumer society.
Written in an easy-to-read style this book covers the history,
invention and textile technology of the main fibres including
rayon, nylon, polyester and acrylics. Fashion, textile, sex , and
high street retailer stories are closely entwined within that
history. Anecdotes and illustrations add period character.
