This book is a collection of letters written by two young men to each other about their dealings with an enigmatic family of women called the Douglas family. The women consist of a mother and her three daughters, friends of one of the authors, who are trying to "civilize" the other author. The book focuses on the clash between the "civilized" and "uncivilized" worlds, particularly in terms of education. The young women are well-educated for their time, something that the other young man is not used to and disapproves of, calling them "bas-bleus". However, over the course of the book, he finds himself drawn into their world and begins to see the value of their pursuits. The book offers insights into the changing roles of women in society in the early 19th century, and the importance of education and open-mindedness.

Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 1 of 3
AN Author who is only making a début, should be particularly careful not to offend against established rules; otherwise you and I might be spared the plague of a Preface; but as I am heartily desirous to conciliate your regard, I will not forfeit any portion of your esteem at my onset, by the slightest contempt of Court. I will therefore say a few words in the way of introduction to Blue-stocking Hall, though Imay find it difficult to tell you more than you will easily find out for yourself, if you take the trou ble of reading the following Letters, which suf ficiently explain their own story. They are selected from a correspondence which is sup posed to have been Spread over a period of four years.
