The fabric of America Series: "Natural Women: Nature, Maternity, and Liberty after the Revolution"
$25 non-members / $20 CCHA members
Dr. Ann Little will present this talk about nature and the natural that women were writing about around the turn of the nineteenth century. The high-waisted (empire) gown was praised for its rendering of free women's bodies as more "natural"--although many writers and observers were careful to criticize women who revealed too much of their natural forms in these gowns of gauze and filmy muslin. The popularity of this style coincided with the beginnings of women's tourism to natural springs and spas.
