Reviews

""Revelatory and ambitious, Hats exposes the diabolically efficient network of plumage hunters and fur trappers that girdled the late nineteenthcentury globe. No bird or beaver was safe--and all for the sake of a hat."" --TESSA BOASE, author of Mrs Pankhurst's Purple Feather: Fashion, Fury and Feminism--Women's Fight for Change
