The book argues that legs occupy a particularly vexed position in Victorian culture.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrong legs formed the foundation (or the columns) of the civilised subject, but the politics of who could show their legs remained gendered. For the most part, men exhibited and admired, while women concealed and demurred.
