A Word of Advice...
Whatever the fashions may be,
never be induced by them to
violate
the
strictest modesty. No woman can strip her arms to her shoulders and show
her back and bosom without injuring her mind and losing some of her
refinement..."
-- The Young Lady's Friendby a Lady (Boston,1836)

What are we going to believe about
women?
These courses will look at women in literature and conduct/self help
manuals throughout the late 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Women are
represented as wild, unruly, passionate creatures in literature, and as
pious, submissive, domestic, and pure in many conduct books. But not
always. Two successive courses this summer will look into how women are
supposed to act -- and how they act in novels -- a very telling and
influential place to look for female figures.
