  • More about Material Lives: Women Makers and Consumer Culture in the 18th Century

Material Lives reveals the hidden lives of eighteenth-century women through their material archives, challenging traditional notions of their making as decorative and trivial. It provides a valuable resource for researchers and students of material culture, dress history, consumption, gender, and womens history.

Format: Hardback
Length: 272 pages
Publication date: 25 February 2021
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


Eighteenth-century women used their material archives, forged through fabric samples, watercolors, dressed prints, and dolls' garments, to record and navigate their lives. Material Lives positions women as 'makers in a consumer society' and offers a rich resource to illuminate the power of needles, paintbrushes, and scissors. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students of material culture, dress history, consumption, gender, and women's history.
