In 1995, Algonquin published what Publishers Weekly called a, “captivating little pictorial autobiography for adults, a life told through clothes.” Sixteen years and three books later, Ilene Beckerman has never stopped looking back. “When I was 60 years old, I wrote a book for my children. I have five children. They never thought I had a life before I was their mother. Sometimes even I wondered. The book was Love, Loss and What I Wore. It was a memoir that told about growing up in Manhattan in the 1930s, 40s and 50s through the clothes I wore.”
