This work focuses on the efforts toward reforming women's dress that took place in Europe and America in the latter half of the 18th century and the first decade of the 20th century, and the types of garments adopted by women to overcome the challenges posed by fashionable dress. It considers the many advocates for reform and examines their motives, their arguments for change, and how they promoted improvements in women's fashion. Though there was no single overarching dress reform movement, it reveals similarities among the arguments posed by diverse groups of reformers, including especially the equation of reform with an ideal image of improved health. Drawing on a variety of primary and secondary sources in the USA and Europe - including the popular press, advice books for women, allopathic and alternative medical literature, and books on aesthetics, art, health, and physical education - the text makes a significant contribution to costume studies, social history, and women's studies.

Clothing is often an indication of an individual's status, and gender. By the early nineteenth century clear definitions had developed regarding how American women and men were supposed to appear in public and how they were meant to lead their lives. As men's style of dress moved from the ornate to the moderate, women's fashions continued to be decorative and physically restrictive. This visible separation of the sexes was paralleled in other arenas - social, cultural, and religions. Some women defied this convention and cut their skirts short, abandoned their corsets, and put on trousers. In Pantaloons and Power Gayle V. Fisher shows how the reformers' denouncement of conventional dress highlighted the role of clothing in the struggle of power relations between the sexes.

"Artistic, hygienic, and rational are not the most familiar words today but a hundred and twenty years ago they evoked the highest sentiments and became powerful weapons in an attack which developed not merely on the dress of the time but on the concept of fashion itself. It is the story of this movement, its members and the clothes they wore that the author tells."--Book jacket.

Excerpt from Dress Reform: Its Physiological and Moral Bearings; A Lecture Delivered at the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, Washington City, February 10, 1862 Yet have I a word to Offer, and I prefer to say, it here. When men would storm a fortress, they do not retreat to the Wilderness to do it; neither would I choose a place of humbler note to demolish the fortifications of false pride which have ever stood a barrier to the best interests Of society.
