Hannah Carlson's book is a fascinating study in which this humble element of clothing becomes key to understanding social history, gender relations, and material culture.
The author traces the evolution of the pocket from medieval belt pouches to its triumphant integration into men's clothing and its dramatic disappearance from women's wardrobes. This story is not only about fashion and convenience, but also about power, independence, and how the most mundane items shape our everyday lives and sense of self.
