The Victorian Girl and the Feminine Ideal (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Victorian England, the perception of girlhood arose not in isolation, but as one manifestation of the prevailing conception of femininity. Examining the assumptions that underlay the education and upbringing of middle-class girls, this book is also a study of the learning of gender roles in theory and reality. It was originally published in 1982.
