'Women in pants' charts an almost forgotten revolution in clothing that radically altered modern society. Featuring a remarkable collection of vintage photographs from the 1850s to the 1920s and tracing a fascinating slice of social history, the book documents many women who deviated from the strict conventions of the time by shedding their tight corsets, bustles, and long skirts in favor of the more rational attire of bloomers, knickers, trousers, and pants. Dress reformers, farmers, miners, ranchers, mountaineers, performers, and sportswomen openly wore pants. Others, resisting the domestic roles of wife and mother, disguised themselves as men to secure higher-paying jobs, join the military, or engage in relationships with other women without interference. And scores of women played with gender identity by cross-dressing for the camera.
