“Despite the diamonds, ogres, fairies, and woodland adventures that populate her writings, d’Aulnoy was concerned with marriage and its consequences; the relation between the sexes; and female education.” @valerie_reads online today. buff.ly/3RMXI8P

@RobsPierre90 Thank you! I think if you love Astragal you’ll probably especially like the Clébert, but all are books I really love.

@celiadbell What an amazing list, thanks for sharing! Sarrazin is my all time favorite author, so I will deep dive into the books that I don't know yet (yours included hehe). Oh and happy publication day!

@lingerie_addict Is that supposed to be Madame de Pompadour? Because she’s definitely wearing the dress from that Boucher portrait!

The reason for this was that skirts and dresses were so long, there wasn’t really a point. Your bits were covered, and if you needed to go, you just lifted up your skirts.

One of my favorite historical examples of this, for intimate apparel, is how open-crotch underwear was once the norm and closed-crotch underwear was seen as scandalous…when it is very much the opposite today.

The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day. I will run through examples 🧵

I have an essay in Texas Highways this month! It’s about beekeeping, video games, and the natural world. Huge thanks to my editor for letting me get a little weird with it.
