""A New Type of Womanhood" is a very engaging book. Natasha Kirsten Kraus tells such an interesting story, I could hardly put the book down. Connecting changes in late-nineteenth-century political economy with changes in the discourse of true womanhood, Kraus offers insight into the way that the idea of women and the reforms of women function in the development of a market economy in which the notion of the promise of contract is central."--Patricia Ticineto Clough, editor of "The Affective Turn: Theorizing the Social"
