Pockets. An Intimate History, or How to Keep Everything a Secret

Hanna Karlsson's book is an engaging exploration in which a modest piece of clothing becomes the key to understanding social history, gender relations, and material culture.
The author traces the evolution of the pocket from medieval waist pouches to its triumphant incorporation into men's suits and dramatic disappearance from women's wardrobes.

This story is not just about fashion and convenience, but also about power, independence, and how the most ordinary things shape our daily lives and self-perception.
