Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the early pioneers of color analysis, Irenee Riter presents the science of color analysis and body analysis based on the universal principles exhibited by Nature's 4 geometric lines and color templates. If you order and study this complete work, Irenee will personally ensure you align with the correct color and line categories and can be contacted through The Science of Personal Dress website. Going beyond the limiting 4 seasons by discovering "balanced colors," Inter-seasons were created which solved the problem that was causing so much confusion in color analysis. Her research expanded color analysis into the equally important science of body shapes and clothing lines. This highly illustrated 304 page work is the culmination of the 90-hour required foundation color and line courses Irenee taught for the prestigious Academy of Art in San Francisco. Organizing colors, hair colors and eye colors into vibrational harmonic sequences of color was "key" to the success of this work making it a classic training manual in this field. The concepts and principles are proven valid because they are based on "The Law of Attraction" and form the root of all creative art endeavors. Students say it is like “breaking a secret code or learning a foreign language!” Suggestion: Because of the size of this book, it is suggested that for in-depth study that you have the spine of the book rebound into a comb binding so that it lays open for easy handling.See www.thescienceofpersonaldress.com for more information on books, materials, training and testing tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully illustrated, 166-page synopsis from the classic work, "The Science of Personal Dress Complete Study." This has been adapted specifically for the selection of right color and lines in clothing for women and girls. This extends to their body shape, size of patterns and accessories determined by the spacing of face features, natural right colors, and style lines that fit the shape of the body. Knowing there is a scientific way to dress your body as nature intended brings a sense of reverence for self and others. It is never too early for girls and young women to understand they are not just a hap-hazard mix of genes or DNA, but have been orchestrated to perfection down to the tiniest fleck of color in the eye or turn of the nose. The work has been streamlined to answer the results from the body and color Questionnaire found in the book and on the website listed below which shows correct innate colors and clothing lines for each body shape. Fully illustrated descriptions of all traits and detailed directions on how-to combine Homebase and Inter-season application is explained clearly. The four body shapes are detail-illustrated with 525 itemized descriptive clothing lines which shows the different lines for each type. Face features are categorized and show how the shape, size and placing of each feature impacts patterns, fabrics and accouterments of clothing choices. Because of this work, lovely personal dress becomes an exacting science by simple formula and assures that good taste can be learned...absolutely! More information on the unique features of this work can be seen at www.thescienceofpersonaldress.com. Presented as a quick study, the following unique features are included: 1. Presented for the first time, hair and eye colors sorted, vibrationally arranged in order, and illustrated in a harmonic sequence of warm, cool and balanced colors. 2. All 10 Homebase color families are sorted and arranged in harmonic sequence so that people can see where they fit into the scheme of things. 3. The correct principle of complementary color balance is explained relating to a person's skin, hair and eyes. 4. Included are step-by-step instructions on how to combine Homebase colors with extended Inter-season colors for all 12 categories. 5. A new paradigm for body types based on geometric forms and clothing lines which align with each body shape and provides new parameters for measuring. 6. Detailed clothing lines are illustrated for each body shape. All categories of clothing, hairstyles, shoes and accessory lines have been itemized and delineated for each body type. 7. This book is not fashion, it is a thesis regarding what is appropriate, comfortable and natural for each body shape and there are consistent treatment lines for each. 8. 21 Point Questionnaire for Women and Girls for an in-depth, finely tuned color and body analysis.

Book excerpt: NEW The Universal Language of FACE ANALYSIS ~ How One's Face Structure Impacts The Art of Personal Dress and PersonalityA delightful read from start to finish! This book completes 3 forms of analysis - color, dress and now face analysis which has been overlooked but plays an important roll for a finely-tuned analysis. A deeper understanding of what underlies form and color brings a greater syntax of language giving one cognition of the more refined nuances of the art of personal dress. This study is based on validated scientific research showing that the structure of something defines its automatic function. But there is more to all this than what first appears-not only does this apply to dress, but goes deeply into the expression of the personality itself. This book is unusual because for the first time it connects the basic language of line design and shows exactly what it expresses on all levels; physically, mentally, emotionally and through the personality as well. Examples are illustrated to help short-cut long descriptions so the reader can see easy associative connections. Finally, the history and background of structure analysis will be presented, along with the position on the body of 90 illustrated traits, full descriptions of each trait, their universal meanings and what they communicate. This teaching is a powerful asset on every level, giving one the opportunity to ease into a flow of sensitive, non-judgmental positive communication, and a better understanding in relationships, in sales, friends and self-knowledge.

Book excerpt: From a New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott-honor winning artist comes an exuberant illustrated story about playing dress up, having fun, and feeling free. The boy loves to be naked. He romps around his house naked and wild and free. Until he romps into his parents' closet and is inspired to get dressed. First he tries on his dad's clothes, but they don't fit well. Then he tries on his mom's clothes, and wow! The boy looks great. He looks through his mom's jewelry and makeup and tries that on, too. When he's discovered by his mother and father, the whole family (including the dog!) get in on the fun, and they all get dressed together. This charming and humorous story was inspired by bestselling and award-winning author Peter Brown's own childhood, and highlights nontraditional gender roles and self-expression.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Women in Clothes is a book unlike any other. It is essentially a conversation among hundreds of women of all nationalities—famous, anonymous, religious, secular, married, single, young, old—on the subject of clothing, and how the garments we put on every day define and shape our lives. It began with a survey. The editors composed a list of more than fifty questions designed to prompt women to think more deeply about their personal style. Writers, activists, and artists including Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, Kalpona Akter, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Tavi Gevinson, Miranda July, Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham, and Molly Ringwald answered these questions with photographs, interviews, personal testimonies, and illustrations. Even our most basic clothing choices can give us confidence, show the connection between our appearance and our habits of mind, express our values and our politics, bond us with our friends, or function as armor or disguise. They are the tools we use to reinvent ourselves and to transform how others see us. Women in Clothes embraces the complexity of women’s style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.

Book excerpt: A little girl and her favorite dress dream of an extraordinary life. They enjoy simple pleasures together on a beautiful Greek island. They watch the sunset, do chores, and pick wildflowers on the way home. One day, the dress and the girl must leave the island and immigrate to the United States. Upon arrival, the girl is separated from the trunk carrying her favorite dress, and she fears her dress is lost forever. Many years later, the girl—now all grown up—spots the dress in a thrift store window. As the two are finally reunited, the memories of their times together come flooding back. While the girl can no longer wear the dress, it’s now perfect for her own daughter—and the new journey of a girl and her dress begins. Featuring lush illustrations, The Dress and the Girl is a stunning picture book about memory and the power of the items we hold most dear.

Book excerpt: Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite know firsthand how hard filtering out media influence is when it comes to self-image. Both struggled as young women to overcome the expectations of body size and shape, but were able to learn to love, appreciate, and reclaim their own bodies, eventually earning their PhDs in body image resilience. The twin sisters founded the nonprofit Beauty Redefined and have made it their mission to help other women see themselves without societal expectations distorting their self-perception. More than a Body is a self-help book focused on going beyond body positivity, showing how a mindset focused on appearance sets women up for insecurities and self-judgement. In this book, they offer an action plan for readers to combat that mindset, and instead learn how the body can be "an instrument, not an ornament," with practical, actionable steps to take when consuming media, exercising, practicing self-reflection and self-compassion, and finding a purpose in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A tribute to a time when style -- and maybe even life -- felt more straightforward, and however arbitrary, there were definitive answers." -- Sadie Stein, Paris Review As a glance down any street in America quickly reveals, American women have forgotten how to dress. We lack the fashion know-how we need to dress professionally and beautifully. In The Lost Art of Dress, historian and dressmaker Linda Przybyszewski reveals that this wasn't always true. In the first half of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women -- the so-called Dress Doctors -- taught American women that knowledge, not money, was key to a beautiful wardrobe. They empowered women to design, make, and choose clothing for both the workplace and the home. Armed with the Dress Doctors' simple design principles -- harmony, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis -- modern American women from all classes learned to dress for all occasions in ways that made them confident, engaged members of society. A captivating and beautifully illustrated look at the world of the Dress Doctors, The Lost Art of Dress introduces a new audience to their timeless rules of fashion and beauty -- rules which, with a little help, we can certainly learn again.

Book excerpt: "Etiquette" is a French word meaning "a ticket" and will gain entrance into a special world. This timely and relevant book is presented to give young women and girls something true and powerful to be in alignment with to inspire qualities of kindness and charm. Charm cannot exist without good manners. To instill and nurture these ideals is the purpose of this book. It means educating oneself in society's cultural customs and acquiring that exterior polish which comes from understanding the rules of exchange for the common good. Confidence in social skills, knowing what to expect and what is expected removes anxiety and gives one the freedom to focus on the matter at hand. Violation of good manners, ungrammatical use of words, breach of etiquette, mistakes of impropriety are not confidence building. Just to have a certified book of cultural protocol is reaffirming to as least be aware and have as a reference guide (for girls and women and covered in the companion book "Impeccably Sharp" for men and boys.) This easy to read 30-page handbook begins with charming manners and then follows up with ways to show charm of etiquette through social exchange: Charming Conversation; Charming Suggestions; Charming Introductions; Eight Charming Habits of Self Care Manners That Show Your Charm- Manners That Shout Your Charm Etiquette That Reveals Your Charm Table Etiquette Before, During and After Dining With the image instilled that their body is a unique expression never before created, these ideas blossom into a drive to enhance it, mine it, refine it, upgrade it, polish it and to package it an extraordinarily beautiful woman...a Vivid Beauty. This is the perfect gift from mothers to daughters and from grandmothers to granddaughters. See www.scienceofdress.com or www.thescienceofpersonaldress.com

For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “beautifully written” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have take to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system. If you think sexism thrives only on Wall Street or Hollywood, you haven’t visited a lab, a science department, a research foundation, or a biotech firm. Rita Colwell is one of the top scientists in America: the groundbreaking microbiologist who discovered how cholera survives between epidemics and the former head of the National Science Foundation. But when she first applied for a graduate fellowship in bacteriology, she was told, “We don’t waste fellowships on women.” A lack of support from some male superiors would lead her to change her area of study six times before completing her PhD. A Lab of One’s Own is an “engaging” (Booklist) book that documents all Colwell has seen and heard over her six decades in science, from sexual harassment in the lab to obscure systems blocking women from leading professional organizations or publishing their work. Along the way, she encounters other women pushing back against the status quo, including a group at MIT who revolt when they discover their labs are a fraction of the size of their male colleagues. Resistance gave female scientists special gifts: forced to change specialties so many times, they came to see things in a more interdisciplinary way, which turned out to be key to making new discoveries in the 20th and 21st centuries. Colwell would also witness the advances that could be made when men and women worked together—often under her direction, such as when she headed a team that helped to uncover the source of anthrax used in the 2001 letter attacks. A Lab of One’s Own is “an inspiring read for women embarking on a career or experiencing career challenges” (Library Journal, starred review) that shares the sheer joy a scientist feels when moving toward a breakthrough, and the thrill of uncovering a whole new generation of female pioneers. It is the science book for the #MeToo era, offering an astute diagnosis of how to fix the problem of sexism in science—and a celebration of women pushing back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magical saga of the women behind King Arthur's throne. “A monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends . . . reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience. . . . An impressive achievement.”—The New York Times Book Review In Marion Zimmer Bradley's masterpiece, we see the tumult and adventures of Camelot's court through the eyes of the women who bolstered the king's rise and schemed for his fall. From their childhoods through the ultimate fulfillment of their destinies, we follow these women and the diverse cast of characters that surrounds them as the great Arthurian epic unfolds stunningly before us. As Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar struggle for control over the fate of Arthur's kingdom, as the Knights of the Round Table take on their infamous quest, as Merlin and Viviane wield their magics for the future of Old Britain, the Isle of Avalon slips further into the impenetrable mists of memory, until the fissure between old and new worlds' and old and new religions' claims its most famous victim.

Book excerpt: A charming, hilarious, irresistible romp of a novel that brings together nine unrelated women, each touched by the same little black dress that weaves through their lives, bringing a little magic with it. Natalie is a Bloomingdale's salesgirl mooning over her lawyer ex-boyfriend who's engaged to someone else after just two months. Felicia has been quietly in love with her boss for seventeen years and has one night to finally make the feeling mutual. Andie is a private detective who specializes in gathering evidence on cheating husbands—a skill she unfortunately learned from her own life—and lands a case that may restore her faith in true love. For these three women, as well as half a dozen others in sparkling supporting roles—a young model fresh from rural Alabama, a diva Hollywood star making her Broadway debut, an overachieving, unemployed Brown grad who starts faking a fabulous life on social media, to name just a few—everything is about to change, thanks to the dress of the season, the perfect little black number everyone wants to get their hands on . . .

Book excerpt: #1 International Bestseller Winner of the 2019 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award Winner of the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize A landmark, prize-winning, international bestselling examination of how a gender gap in data perpetuates bias and disadvantages women, now in paperback Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to health care to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, in money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates this shocking root cause of gender inequality in the award-winning, #1 international bestseller Invisible Women. Examining the home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more, Criado Perez unearths a dangerous pattern in data and its consequences on women’s lives. Product designers use a “one-size-fits-all” approach to everything from pianos to cell phones to voice recognition software, when in fact this approach is designed to fit men. Cities prioritize men’s needs when designing public transportation, roads, and even snow removal, neglecting to consider women’s safety or unique responsibilities and travel patterns. And in medical research, women have largely been excluded from studies and textbooks, leaving them chronically misunderstood, mistreated, and misdiagnosed. Built on hundreds of studies in the United States, in the United Kingdom, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, highly readable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Book excerpt: From factory worker to First Lady, “this photo book explores the history of female power dressing across different classes, cultures, and careers” (InStyle). At a time in which a woman can be a firefighter, surgeon, astronaut, military officer, athlete, judge, and more, what does it mean to dress like a woman? This book turns that question on its head by sharing a myriad of interpretations across history—with 300 incredible photographs that illustrate how women’s roles have changed over the last century. The women pictured in this book inhabit a fascinating intersection of gender, fashion, politics, culture, class, nationality, and race. There are some familiar faces, including trailblazers Amelia Earhart, Angela Davis, and Michelle Obama, but the majority of photographs are of ordinary working women from many backgrounds and professions. With essays by renowned fashion writer Vanessa Friedman and feminist writer Roxane Gay, Dress Like a Woman offers a comprehensive look at the role of gender and dress in the workplace.
