When Ladies Go A-Thieving: Middle-Class Shoplifters in the Victorian Department Store
Abelson, Elaine S. (Assistant Professor of History, New School for Social Research, Assistant Professor of History, New School for Social Research, Eugene Lang College)
This book focuses on middle-class urban women as participants in new forms of consumer culture. Abelson argues that in the interest of concealing the darker side of consumerism, women of the middle class, but not those of the working class, were allowed to shoplift and lead incapacitating illness--kleptomania.
