Dio Lewis looked at how girls were dressed and walked and found fashion at war with their bodies. His book champions broad soles, sensible boots and free movement over the crippling styles of the day. A spirited reformer's tract on health, dress and growing up female. Hear an early crusader argue for letting girls simply move.
