"I used to love the rattle and whoosh of my grandma's buttons as they scattered from their Quality Street tin.An inlaid wooden chest the size of a shoe box holds Lynn Knight's button collection. A collection that has been passed down through three generations of women- a chunky sixties-era toggle from a favourite coat, three tiny pearl buttons from her mother's first dress after she was adopted as a baby, a jet button from a time of Victorian mourning. Each button tells a story. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us' said Virginia Woolf of clothes. The Button Boxtraces the story of women at home and in work from pre-First World War domesticity, through the first clerical girls in silk blouses, to the delights of beading and glamour in the thirties to short skirts and sexual liberation in the sixties."

This is about fashion in the 20th century. It is not really about the buttons. They are just an excuse for an essay on some aspect of 20th century women's fashion. ( )
