This morning I am working on a paper about the debate over women wearing pants. This debate was about more than fashion as pants symbolized the change in women’s roles in society and the fear over that change. I have collected New York Times articles about women wearing pants as I look for themes in that coverage. Some of the articles are in the women’s pages but the story also reached the news sections.

In the article above, a judge is critical of a woman who wore pants to traffic court.

This paper is part of my research agenda that looks at the four Fs of the women’s pages: family, fashion, food and furnishings.
