ArtsNational MR - Fashion, Feathers and Feminism
About
Fashion, Feathers and Feminism: Women’s Fight for Change, shines alight on the intriguing story of women’s love affair with plumage – and of the brave
eco feminists who fought back on behalf of the birds. Moving from a polite Victorian
tea party to an egret hunt in a Florida swamp; from a suffragette ‘monster rally’ to a
milliner’s dusty workshop, you will be taken back in time to a world where every
woman, of every class wore a hat. Shocking and surprising, entertaining and moving,
this pacy lecture remains Tessa’s most popular.
Tessa Boase is a freelance journalist, author, lecturer, and campaigner with an interest
in uncovering the stories of invisible women from the 19th and early 20th-centuries –
revealing how they drove industry, propped up society and influenced politics.
