In examining the course of the debate between the philosophies of
Rousseau and Wollstonecraft in the first seventy years of the
nineteenth century, several important conclusions have been
reached. First, a much more diverse spectrum of women's exercise
existed in the antebellum era than is currently described in modern
historical texts. Second, several exercise systems had significant
links to an ideal of womanhood - called in this text Majestic
Womanhood - which directly competed with the prevailing construct
of the ideology of True Womanhood articulated by historian Barbara
Welter. Third, purposive training mattered in the lives of American
women influencing them physically, intellectually, and emotionally.
In many instances this training empowered women to step beyond the
confines of their separate sphere of domestic duty and involve
themselves in the world outside their homes.
