Chapter 7: Conclusion
In this insightful monograph, Johnson dives into the world of Pinterest wedding boards to uncover women's vernacular and agentic meaning-making around practices of content curation, narratives of the (aspirational) self, and taste development. Spanning between histories of women's magazines to cultures of American weddings, and incisive empirical interviews, this book is a delightful read.
