The Feminine Script Of Early Nineteenth Century Centered On Women'S Role As Patient, Longsuffering Mothers. By Midcentury, However, Their Daughters Faced A World Very Different In Social And Economic Options And In The Physical Experiences Surrounding Their Bodies. In This Groundbreaking Study, Nancy Theriot Turns To Social And Medical History, Developmental Psychology, And Feminist Theory To Explain The Fundamental Shift In Women'S Concepts Of Femininity And Gender Identity During The Course Of The Centuryfrom An Ideal Suffering Womanhood To Emphasis On Female Control Of Physical Self.Theriot'S First Chapter Proposes A Methodological Shift That Expands The Interdisciplinary Horizons Of Women'S History. She Argues That Social Psychological Theories, Recent Work In Literary Criticism, And New Philosophical Work On Subjectivities Can Provide Helpful Lenses For Viewing Mothers And Children And For Connecting Socioeconomic Change And Ideological Change. She Recommends That Women'S Historians Take Bolder Steps To Historicize The Female Body By Making Use Of The Theoretical Insights Of Feminist Philosophers, Literary Critics, And Anthropologists.Within This Methodological Perspective, Theriot Reads Medical Texts And Woman Authored Advice Literature And Autobiographies. She Relates The Early Nineteenthcentury Notion Of 'True Womanhood' To The Socioeconomic And Somatic Realities Of Middleclass Women'S Lives, Particularly To Their Experience Of The New Male Obstetrics. The Generation Of Women Born Early In The Century, In A Close Mother/Daughter World, Taught Theirdaughters The Feminine Script By Word And Action. Their Daughters, However, The First Generation To Benefit Greatly From Professional Medicine, Had Less Reason Than Their Mothers To Associate Womanhood With Pain And Suffering. The New Concept Of Femininity They Created Incorporated Maternal Teaching But Altered It To Make Meaningful Their Own Very Different Experience.This Provocative Study Applies Interdisciplinary Methodology To New And Longstanding Questions In Women'S History And Invites Women'S Historians To Explore Alternative Explanatory Frameworks.
