"What does it mean to dress like a woman? Today, a woman can be a surgeon, an artist, an astronaut, a mlitary officer, an athlete, a judge, a scientist--the possibilities are endless. The photographs inside this book depict women-- both familiar and unknown-- who inhabit a fascinating intersection of fashion, gender, class, nationality, and race, proving there is no single answer to this question .... Dress Like a Woman is a comprehensive look at the role of gender and clothing in the workplace"--Back cover.
