How Underwear Got Under There: A Brief History
Author(s): Kathy Shaskan
This lively text consists of ten chapters on various aspects of underwear, including the social and historical ramifications of different undergarments and their development for warmth, support, protection, cleanliness, and status. Regan Dunnick's clever illustrations and Kathy Shaskan's accessible text is giggle-worthy, page-turning, and well-researched. From boxers to bustles to briefs, from history to humour, from support to society, the story of underwear is the story of humanity itself.
