　　Saddle shoes. Camp shorts. Girdles. Bell-bottoms. Each plays a

significant role as we follow B., the wardrobe's owner, through her

buttoned-up Midwestern childhood to the freedom of miniskirts,

sundresses, and New York City. We watch as B. copes with the

untimely death of her mother, makes a go of glamorous magazine

work, and, after the inevitable false starts and fashion missteps,

finally comes into her own.Part memoir, part fashion and cultural

history of the last five decades, Autobiography of a Wardrobe is an

exploration of the clothes each generation has embraced and the

smallest details in which we are able to seek comfort and

meaning.

　　“Wonderfully original.... A highly relatable account of body

image, feminism, and fashion.”—Vogue“Belongs on every

nightstand.” —Vanity Fair “A great history of women in the

20th-century. . . . Amazing.” —Slate “Nutty and

delightful.”—The Boston Globe“Brilliant. . . . One turns

these pages with anticipation and pleasure.” —The New York

Sun“Powerful. . . . [It's] impossible not to remember your own

clothes-what you wore, and where, and when.” —The New York

Observer "This is a book to devour with great pleasure, as it

brings back our own reactions to youth's wardrobe: saddle shoe lust

and, for me, in Brooklyn rather than in the Midwest, a decade

earlier, bobby socks and penny loafers. But the passion is the same

in every period: no one has gotten at the intense importance of

these issues in the feminine bildungsroman. Kendall has given us

something wonderful."—Linda Nochlin, author of Bather, Bodies,

Beauty"A writer of deep and delicious gifts, Elizabeth Kendall

now gives us a subtle, original riff on the clothes we wear.

Clothes may not make the man or woman, but they certainly make this

book. It is at once whimsical and profound."—Catharine Stimpson,

University Professor and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and

Science, New York University
