Clothing and gender in the US

[vlion]

I found "Pink and Blue: Telling the Boys from the Girls in America"[1] at a local library. Very informative. It's also fascinating to realize that I was brought in what evidently amounted to a fairly hardcore second-wave feminist home. Ironically, my parents don't describe themselves as feminist, but looking back on it, it's *definitely* obvious.

It's also interesting, because the Wife and I are also suuper strongly against heavily gendered clothing and toys. So finding out the history of the gendered kids clothing is enlightening.

I think I'd be interested in that book.
