"Over the years the bra has been stereotyped as an object of seduction, glamour, and even oppression. In Uplift: The Bra in America, Jane Farrell-Beck and Colleen Gau use this item of clothing to gauge the social history of women in the United States and to understand the business history of fashion.

Viewing fashion as a means to entertainment, self-creation, and everyday art, the authors illuminate the effect the brassiere has had on women's lives - their style, health, and economic opportunity."--BOOK JACKET.
