An excellent copy. 2004 Hard Cover. 357 pp. "The modern world imagines that the invention of electricity was greeted with great enthusiasm. But in 1879 Americans reacted to the advent of electrification with suspicion and fear. Forty years after Thomas Edison invented the incandescent bulb only 20 percent of American families had wired their homes. Meanwhile electrotherapy emerged as a popular medical treatment for everything from depression to digestive problems. Why did Americans welcome electricity into their bodies even as they kept it from their homes And what does their reaction to technological innovation then have to teach us about our reaction to it today In Dark Light Linda Simon offers the first cultural history that delves into those questions using newspapers novels and other primary sources. Tracing fifty years of technological transformation from Morse's invention of the telegraph to Roentgen's discovery of X rays she has created a revealing portrait of an anxious age.

But to consider Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel 1883–1971 as simply a fashion designer fails to capture her social and cultural significance. As Linda Simon reveals in this biography Chanel was an iconoclastic entrepreneur who rebelled against and manipulated gender expectations of her time. With her menswear-inspired designs her loose jersey sweaters belted jauntily at the waist and her svelte unadorned gowns Chanel changed women’s silhouettes and she became known as a champion of women’s freedom. Chanel not only changed the shape of women’s clothing but the narrative of women’s lives in the early twentieth century. From her very first hat shop until her death Chanel sold more than fashion—she sold a myth that became as attractive for many women as her coveted outfits. Simon here teases apart that myth to explore its contradictions—Chanel was a self-proclaimed recluse who emerged as one of the most spectacular personalities of her time; she was a brilliant businesswoman who signed away ninety percent of her company; and she was a genius who claimed she was nothing more than an artisan. In this insightful book Simon examines the world both reflected and shaped by Chanel setting her life and work within the context of women’s history in France and America from the Roaring Twenties to the profound social changes of the 1960s. Drawing upon rich archival sources Simon’s lively book is a clear-eyed look at a woman whose influence and legend transcend the world of fashion. . 2011. 1861898592 . Reaktion Books paperback
