The Big Book of Legs

The Big Book of Legs explores the cultural history of the female leg and its changing place in fashion, photography, and popular culture.

Edited by Dian Hanson, the book traces the evolution of leg imagery from the 19th-century cancan and early burlesque to the flapper era, nylon stockings, stiletto heels, and the miniskirt of the 1960s. Featuring more than 400 photographs, including work by Irving Klaw and Elmer Batters, it examines how changing styles and social attitudes transformed the representation of the female body.
