A Mother's Love: Crafting Feminine Virtue in Enlightenment France
chronicles the emegence of an idealized mother figure whose
reforming zeal sought to make French society more just. Lesley H.
Walker contends that this attempt during the eighteenth century to
'rewrite' social relations in terms of greater social equality
represents an important but overlooked strand of Enlightenment
thought. During this period, popular domestic novels, the
ever-raging debates about women's social roles, and highly
sought-after genre paintings produced a remarkable image of
motherhood. Through a focus on feminine virtue, Walker studies
female writers and artists to argue that these women theorize the
domestic sphere as a site of significant social and ethical
productivity.
