The photographs inside this book depict women-- both familiar and unknown-- who inhabit a fascinating intersection of fashion, gender, class, nationality, and race, proving there is no single answer to this question .... Dress Like a Woman is a comprehensive look at the role of gender and clothing in the workplace"--Back cover.
