This first in-depth study of women's politeness examines the
complex relationship individuals had with the discursive ideals of
polite femininity. Contextualising women's autobiographical
writings (journals and letters) with a wide range of
eighteenth-century printed didactic material, it analyses the
tensions between politeness discourse which aimed to regulate
acceptable feminine identities and women's possibilities to resist
this disciplinary regime. Ylivuori focuses on the central role the
female body played as both the means through which individuals
actively fashioned themselves as polite and feminine, and the
supposedly truthful expression of their inner status of polite
femininity.
