Fashion in Deformity: As Illustrated in the Customs of Barbarous and Civilized Races

by William Henry Flower

This fascinating book explores the many ways in which cultures throughout history have shaped and distorted the human form, through practices such as foot-binding, neck stretching, and corset-wearing. The authors argue that these practices reflect deeper cultural values and beliefs, and shed light on the ways in which societies impose their will on the body. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of fashion and body modification.
