Garment Register explores aspects of the commemorative, a theme of major exploration throughout Harriet Bart's career. This evocative book honors generations of anonymous, working class women. Garment Register brings together pages of an old ledger with entries of women’s names and the dues they paid, with vintage photographs, fabrics, and prose from women writers ranging from Martha Graham to Virginia Woolf; from Willa Cather to Nor Hall. Each page offers a material narrative.
