Accessories to Modernity: Fashion and the Feminine in Nineteenth-Century France
Susan Hiner
Examining fashion accessories in both novels and fashion discourses, Susan Hiner reframes the feminine accessory as a signifier of modernity and makes an important claim about the "accessory" status of women in nineteenth-century France: as both commodities and consumers, women were in fact "accessories to modernity."
