| Description: |
Examines how the ideal of the American Woman evolved from ''Old World'' ideas of elegance into a specifically American sensibility. This title also explores the impact of the image of the American Woman on haute couture, revealing how the ''slender American Diana'' displaced the ''rounded French Venus'' as the prevailing archetype of beauty. |
