Review Quotes:

Maternity wear, much like pregnancies of the past, has been a hidden subject. Kay Goldman's work illuminates this marginalized area of clothing history as well as the largely untold story of the clothing industry in twentieth-century Texas. The overlooked role of Jewish women in that business is particularly interesting. -Michaele Thurgood Haynes, retired curator of costume, Witte Museum, and author of Dressing Up Debutantes: Pageantry and Glitz in Texas
