A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019; “A riveting book . . few stones are left unturned.”—Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times

This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives—from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen—and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus.  

“What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them.”—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian     “A brilliant book.”—Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement

Stick flavor chew toy.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My dog LOVES to chew sticks. I purchased this for her in the hopes she would chew this instead. She still chews sticks, but less since purchasing this for her. She loves these versions of Nylabones in all flavors. I would purchase again.

40lb Lab Retriever Loves It!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My 40lb Labrador Retriever loves her Nylabone. She DOES chew threw it and it's important to note that it IS plastic, so the product description mentions it should NOT be ingested. The bone eventually does get worn down and she does "bite, then lick" the bone, but she doesn't seem to ingest the entire bone over time and isn't interested in the small, ant-sized pieces of the bone she's carved off with her teeth. However, over time, the bone does shrink and the edges do get very sharp, so be wary of that. It's not going to hurt anyone, but if you step on it or if it brushes you the wrong way, it could scratch you. Other than that, it's a cheap toy that lasts about a month or so for my dog–a dog that chews up most plush toys pretty quickly.

inside stick for the pup 🐶
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
It's a SMALL nylabone that the puppy liked and chewed down somewhat. Time to throw it out and get a new one.
