Women’s Bodies, here, there, everywhere!

When finding articles for my annotated bibliography, I used key words and phrases, including “women’s bodies”, “fashion”, and “women in fashion”. It wasn’t difficult finding relevant sources, and there were a good amount of options to pick from! I would say the toughest part of this assignment was making sure every annotation included everything it needed. I was surprised to find a source that focused on a dystopian alternative of women’s bodies and nudities. I wish I could find a British 1800s alternative source, but I did find sources from that time period, and I found a lot of pieces from other countries and cultures, which can bring lots of alternative lenses to my paper, adding a more accurate insight to women’s bodies in America. A lot of the sources I pick focus on similar overlapping topics, like women’s rights, patriarchy, confidence, etc. But what I also like is every source brought something new to the table as well, focusing on different cultures, different time periods, and different tonalities in speakers. I also believe these sources can add more insight to my primary sources, along with alternative lenses, adding contrasting or different perspectives that can make my paper stronger! I think these sources will add great additional insight to my paper, and I’m getting really excited to write!
