First published in 1972, this book contains a collection of ten
essays that document the feminine stereotypes that women fought
against, and only partially erased, a hundred years ago. In an
introductory essay, Martha Vicinus describes the perfect Victorian
lady, showing that the ideal was a combination of sexual innocence,
conspicuous consumption and worship of the family hearth. Indeed,
this model in some form was the ideal of all classes as the perfect
lady's only functions were marriage and procreation. The text
offers a valuable insight into Victorian culture and society.
