A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

MCLUHAN: Well. the woman of the future will be highly mobile, nonspecialized -
some Kind of rival to Henry Kissinger: bureaucrat/ academic/ ambassador/ parent/ peacemaker. She'll have multilevel activities. And fashion. of course, is folk art. Fashions are images that update sensory life, that reflect change. If we project from now well, unisex is· the thing now. Femininity has no meaning any longer. We'll have a tribe of Alice Coopers the new man/woman/ beast in a siren suit. Men and women will wear tribal costume as a mark of group identity.
