Other than gift inscription this is a clean, tight and unmarked copy-" This hilarious and nostalgic look at etiquette for girls is a sobering commentary on how little the rules have really changed."Sheila Norgate's work offers significant and provocative social commentary in a humorous and non-confrontational manner. Her work is particularly captivating to women". -- Women In View -Storm Clouds Over Party Shoes takes the admonishments of etiquette books and turns them inside out. Combining images from women's magazines of the 1930s to the 1950s with text taken from etiquette books of the same era, Norgate has us laughing out loud at the choking doctrines which circumscribed girls' and women's lives just one generation ago. She delivers her message with a laugh and a punch: "Smile though your heart is breaking". -By prescribing rigorous adherence to detail and propriety, etiquette books have attempted to correct women's and girls' unique "defects". "At first I laughed at the sheer folly of it", Norgate writes in the introduction, but judging by the headlines of today's women's magazines, the business of self-improvement for girls is still thriving. Norgate brilliantly juxtaposes images and text, creating a nostalgic, hilarious and sobering commentary.

This debut book evolved from a one-woman show in 1995 in Vancouver, Canada, entitled "It's More Fun When You Know the Rules".…
