The way we live now - women's attitudes about clothes

Women's Quarterly, Spring, 2003 by Meghan Cox Gurdon, Midge Decter

Harper's Bazaar, hitherto a relatively decorous periodical, recently made the ultimate feminist statement with its full-page, full-color illustration of a woman warrior. Masses of dark curly hair, battle-ax slung over one muscled shoulder, swollen breasts barely covered by a scrap of red stretch material, and dangling from her left hand a large pair of hairy human testicles.

A little Jamesian reticence would surely be welcome about now.
