In a project reflected in a Colonial Barbie doll, Miller (history, U. of Massachusetts Amherst) fills gaps in the history of colonial women's role in the skilled clothing trades. She examines how New England females, who lived in Hadley, where the author resides, experienced the socioeconomic and cultural changes of the evolving market economy. A photo (among other period images) of a woman wearing an ancestor's 18th century wedding gown for a 1910 July 4th celebration illustrates her point that nostalgia for clothes of that era represented ideas about heritage and patriotism.
