Through fourteen essays divided into three segments - how dress creates, disrupts, and transcends gender - the essays investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion. 'Crossing Gender Boundaries' first examines how clothing has been, and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender division that has come to permeate Western and westernized cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it, focusing on unisex and genderless clothing.
