Description
Bathroom: A Cultural History of the Modern Room. The modern bathroom is an integral part of our homes, yet its complex infrastructure often goes unnoticed. This book tells the story of how the bathroom evolved and became an international symbol of key modern values such as cleanliness, order, and progress. From colonialism to mass production, Barbara Penner explores how the bathroom was exported across the globe, influenced by factors such as media, fashion, world expositions, and tourism. The book delves into the history of bidets, high-tech toilets, cast-iron bathtubs, and walk-in showers, as well as sustainable alternatives.
