Organised by a committee of women, it opened to great fanfare in the Grafton Galleries in London, and was comprised of both historical and contemporary portraits of women as well as decorative objects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeaghan Clarke argues that the exhibition challenged contemporary assumptions about the representation of women and the superficiality of female collectors. The \u003ci\u003eFair Women\u003c\/i\u003e phenomenon complicated gender stereotypes and foregrounded women as cultural arbiters. This book uncovers a wide range of texts and images to reveal that \u003ci\u003eFair Women\u003c\/i\u003e brought together fashion, modernity and gender politics in new and surprising ways. It shows that, while invariably absent in institutional histories, women were vital to the development of the modern blockbuster exhibition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars in art and gender studies, museum studies, feminist art history, women artists and art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45601160986862,"sku":"9780367502751","price":63.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/fashionability-exhibition-culture-and-gender-politics-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
