Fabulous Fashions of the 1970s
In the 1970s, if you had curly hair, you could sport an Afro. If you had straight hair, you could wear Dorothy Hamill's wedge cut or Farrah Fawcett's feathery flip. Both men and women disco-danced in bell-bottoms and platform shoes. However, equality in the fashion world was not enough. The Women's Liberation Movement wanted women to have the same opportunities in business and education that men had. Readers will learn about the fashions, fads, pop culture icons, and world events of the 1970s.

From dresses to fads and accessories for both men and women, with a touch of pop culture, Niven provides an easily accessible overview of fashions through the decades. At just under fifty pages, this series is more of a supplement than a main source of information for reports, with one or two paragraphs per fashion item. Although some of the styles are cringe-worthy, browsers will be entertained by the new-fangled smart look worn by regular folks and celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, and Princess Grace.
