Women on the Move: Clothing patents spanning 200 years. [View all]
In a recent study, a team at the Politics of Patents (POP) project delved into thousands of publicly available clothing patents spanning 200 years of clothing inventions from 1820 to 2020. This unique research revealed a hidden history of innovators and inventive clothing that helped women defy political and societal restrictions barring their access to active living and sporting activities. As a result, a selection of extraordinary “sportswear” from the 1890s to the 1940s was bought to life by sewing sociologist Dr. Katrina Jungnickel and her team at the Politics of Patents (POP) project, which is funded by the European Research Council at Goldsmiths, University of London.
