More than one hundred illustrations and photographs complement an entertaining history of the beauty pageant, from the 1850s to the present day, tracing the changing perspective on feminine beauty and its evolving role as a cultural institution.
Washington Post, 1/24/99
From the bathing beauties of the teens to the cheesecake era of the '40s Goldwyn Girls to the sequin-spangled Misses Universe of the '90s, Savage's lighthearted, well-illustrated book dives into the culture of these "pageants of pulchritude."
