Chrisman-Campbell grew up in a working-class family in the Midwest. Her parents were active in the Socialist Party, and she was raised with a strong sense of social justice. From a young age, she was aware of the power of clothing to communicate one's values and beliefs.

In her memoir, Chrisman-Campbell writes about the dresses she wore to protests and rallies, as well as the dresses she wore to more formal events. She discusses the ways in which her clothing choices sometimes brought her into conflict with her family and friends, but she also writes about the ways in which her wardrobe helped her to express her individuality and sense of style.

My Life Through My Dresses Growing Up Socialist is a fascinating and thought-provoking memoir that explores the complex relationship between fashion, politics, and personal identity. Through her vivid descriptions of her favorite dresses, Chrisman-Campbell provides a unique glimpse into the life of a woman who has always been passionate about both style and social justice.
