Scoop.it!
This Scoop.it collection is a companion to my blog, Pink and Blue. The blog, in turn, supports and extends my Indiana University Press book by the same title. I am currently at work on a new book on gender in 1960s and 70s fashions, so expect to see that reflected here as well. Enjoy! No comment yet.
