However that women in America have gained an enormous amount of freedom under the law since the country’s inception in the late 18th century, but are things truly equal between men and women?

In other words, getting dressed everyday morning ultimately has political and economic consequences. If past and present feminist ignored fashion, they would be surrendering their power to become a huge influential icon; history has shown that feminist indeed can harness fashion and use it for their own political purposes.
