Petticoats in popular culture
The phrase Petticoat Government has referred to women running government or domestic affairs. The phrase implying the threat to appropriate government by males was mentioned in several of Henry Fielding's plays. An Irish pamphlet Petticoat Government, Exemplified in a Late Case in Ireland was published in 1780. Frances Milton Trollope wrote Petticoat Government: A Novel in 1850. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote Petticoat Government, another novel, in 1911.
A 1943 comedy film called Petticoat Larceny depicted a young girl being kidnapped by grifters. In 1955, Iron Curtain politics were satirised in a Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn film The Iron Petticoat. In the same year Western author Chester William Harrison wrote a short story "Petticoat Brigade" that was turned into the film The Guns of Fort Petticoat in 1957. Blake Edwards filmed a story of an American submarine filled with nurses from the Battle of the Philippines called Operation Petticoat.
