Description
Worn: A People's History of Clothing
This book offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the clothes we wear, tracing the origins of garment-making through time and around the world.
From the women who created linen in 19th-century New England to those who earn their dowries in modern-day cotton-spinning factories, Sofi Thanhauser explores the social, economic, and environmental impact of our most personal possessions.
