Coffs Coast Business Women's Network - The Saucy, Sexy 20's

The Saucy Sexy 20’s. New Dresses, New Dances & New Contraception.

07/07/2011 – 6.15pm to 8.00pm

Dr Leigh Summers is an historian and author whose interests include 19th and 20th century fashion, the body and sexuality. She is currently Director of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery and Museum. Leigh has over a decade of experience in the cultural sector in management, curatorial and education roles. She is also an independent museum and gallery consultant. Her PhD Bound to Please: A History of the Victorian Corset was published in 2001 by Berg Press, London, as part of Berg’s prestigious Dress, Body Culture Series.

Her Honours thesis examined the influence of 19th century sexologists on early to mid 20th century sex advice literature.

While continuing to publish nationally and internationally for both an academic as well as general readership Leigh has worked extensively with material culture, particularly mid-late 19th century Dress. She has curated numerous exhibitions drawn from major private and public collections. Her research and publication history reflects an enduring fascination with fashion, the body and the construction of sexuality and femininity. Her latest research involves the crinoline in Australia. 

Just for BWN members, she will be presenting a saucy & sexy showcase of the 1920’s – an era of women pursuing new ways of dressing, dancing & all things pleasurable. This will be a very memorable event, and one to keep you taking for some time to come.
