NCA Paper About Women Wearing Pants
I am getting ready to present my paper, “Who’s Wearing the Pants? How The New York Times Reported the Changing Dress of Women” at its conference in San Francisco. In it, I examine how the New York Times represented women wearing pants from 1950 through 1975. I found various themes against women wearing pants ranging from political to religious to workplace issues.
Some of these articles were in the women’s pages and some were in the hard news sections and editorial sections.
Current New York Times columnist Gail Collins wrote of this time: “It was a convoluted expression of the classic view of sexual differences: women did not wear the pants in the family – or anywhere else for that matter.”
