Paperback. The ideal woman of the Victorian era was a combination of sexual innocence, conspicuous consumption, and worship of the family hearth--with marriage and procreation being a woman's only function. Suffer and Be Still is a collection of ten lively essays which document the feminine stereotypes that Victorian women fought against, but only partially defeated. Good condition. Cover - some scuff marks, and is covered with plastic.

Paperback. First published in 1977, this book is a companion volume to "Suffer and Be Still. "It looks at the widening sphere of women s activities in the Victorian age and testifies to the dual nature of the legal and social constraints of the period: on the one hand, the ideal of the perfect lady and the restrictive laws governing marriage and property posed limits to women s independence; on the other hand, some Victorian women chose to live lives of great variety and complexity. By uncovering new data and reinterpreting old, the contributors in this volume debunk some of the myths surrounding the Victorian woman and alter stereotypes on which many of today s social customs are based." Fair to good condition. Pages, cover - intact and pages sound. Tanning on front and back pages and on outside page edges. Cover has light scuffing and bumping marks at edges.
