Description - Tupperware by Alison J. Clarke
An exploration of how the plastic storage containers known as Tupperware rose to prominence in 1950's America. Tupperware was more than just a clever use of plastic - it was a symbol of its time and a product of a consumerist age. Alison J. Clarke's cultural analysis seeks to contribute to our growing appreciation of women's agency in the USA as well as in the larger culture of consumption. Clarke interprets the unassuming food storage system as a bridge between the thrift of the Great Depression and the heady consumer carnival of the 1950s.
