Description - Beauty and Business by Philip Scranton

Here, historians explore how our ideas of what is attractive are influenced by a broad range of social and economic factors. They force us to reckon with the ways that beauty has been made, bought and sold in modern America by looking at examples such as: the sexual dynamics of bathing suits; the deeper meanings of corsets; and the social role of the African American hair salon.
