Comment by Lorelei on 11/29/12
Personally, I don't understand the objections to pinafores. I like them. I don't see them as "childish" or "demeaning". Had I been a girl or young woman in those days, I would've relished wearing one of them, even into my late teens. They would've been a lovely badge of femininity to me, in addition to my long dresses and long tresses. The combination would've screamed to boys, "See what I can wear, and you can't." (One movie with good usage of pinafores is Stephen Spielberg's 1980s masterpiece "The Color Purple".) We must reinforce differences between the sexes. Comment by Silvia on 03/25/12 Bad. Comment by juliej on 11/04/04 its an intresting piece of history Comment by Frilliette on 11/09/02 A very nice piece, thank you. I have a couple of points to add. Comment by Annie O on 11/05/02 I guess this shows my age, but -- in the 1940's, I wore an apron when I helped with the dishes, and also eating. It was a fairly common practice, because it protected clothes during a wartime situation. |

The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated. Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated. I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory. Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also. There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box. Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs. It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional. Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns. Be forewarned that abusive remarks and language will be removed, and the posters may be banned from this AND other areas of StorySite. |
