NCA paper and presentation
Today, I am working on my paper, “Who’s Wearing the Pants? How The New York Times Reported the Changing Dress of Women,” which has been accepted for presentation at the National Communication Association convention in San Francisco – where Lance and I got married. I looked at the literal and symbolic power of women wearing pants.
Religion was used as a common reason for women to stay in skirts and dresses.
Politics were also part of the debate over women wearing pants.
Even restaurants were part of the debate as they would decline serve to a woman wearing slacks.
