fascinating & informative

Ms.Varda's book is one of the most beautiful books on fashion I've ever beheld. The essays on women, from Betsy Bonaparte to Alice Roosevelt, are fascinating and elegantly written. The illustrations are gorgeous(full-page facsimiles of paintings,wonderful photographs).This would make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in women's studies, as well as fashion.

A Veritable Plethora of Photographic Progression

After reading this book, I feel that I have a better understanding of the complexities surrounding the female icon, whether it be modern,victorian, or beyond. Craughwell-Varda tapped into a well that until now, I did not appreciate. A wonderful book, with spectacular illustrations.

Hip look at the history of chic in the U.S.

Using glamorous photos, paintings, letters and anecdotes, Craughwell-Varda has turned out a winner of a book on American fashion icons: Jackie, Dolley Madison, the Duchess of Windsor. The author deftly mixes juicy details-Julia Gardener Tyler was a shopaholic-with intellectual discourse on how the way these women dressed changed politics, movies and fashion. A great gift for your favorite fashionista, and a coffee-table book that shows brains as well as beauties.
