Reconstructs London's Victorian and Edwardian West End as an entertainment and retail center. This work illuminates the various forces of the period that encouraged and discouraged women's enjoyment of public life and particularly shows how shopping came to be seen as the quintessential leisure activity for middle- and upper-class women.
