Book Description
"[...] WHY should matrimony interfere with pleasure in this day of self-rocking cradles, self-cooking ranges—and self-supporting wives? MOST men write a love-letter as cautiously as though they were writing for publication, or fame, or posterity. THE man who breaks his social engagements with you before marriage, will break everything from his word to your heart, afterward.

The American New Woman Revisited
Author: Martha H. Patterson
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813544947
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
In North America between 1894 and 1930, the rise of the “New Woman” sparked controversy on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world. As she demanded a public voice as well as private fulfillment through work, education, and politics, American journalists debated and defined her. Who was she and where did she come from? Was she to be celebrated as the agent of progress or reviled as a traitor to the traditional family? Over time, the dominant version of the American New Woman became typified as white, educated, and middle class: the suffragist, progressive reformer, and bloomer-wearing bicyclist. By the 1920s, the jazz-dancing flapper epitomized her. Yet she also had many other faces. Bringing together a diverse range of essays from the periodical press of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Martha H. Patterson shows how the New Woman differed according to region, class, politics, race, ethnicity, and historical circumstance. In addition to the New Woman’s prevailing incarnations, she appears here as a gun-wielding heroine, imperialist symbol, assimilationist icon, entrepreneur, socialist, anarchist, thief, vamp, and eugenicist. Together, these readings redefine our understanding of the New Woman and her cultural impact.
