Imagine a new critical theory that bases its literary value on
fashion. In this theory exists a community that explores and
interrogates conventionality, and in American literature of the
20th century, it includes fashion and home decoration, two paths to
achieving white femininity, a prized component of many novels
written by and for women. Drawing on cultural materialism and its
connection to the cultural forms of objects, including apparel,
Making it Work: 20th Century American Fiction and Fashion provides
readers a new understanding of the aims of American writers, and
the desires of their readers.
