About this book
In the mid-19th century, societal norms surrounding femininity were undergoing significant scrutiny as women began to assert their identities beyond traditional roles. "Modern Women and What is Said of Them: A Reprint of a Series of Articles in the Saturday Review" by E. Lynn Linton explores this transformation, addressing themes such as the critique of domesticity and the emerging discourse on women's independence. Linton's incisive essays challenge prevailing assumptions about women's capabilities and virtues, making a compelling case for their unalienable rights to education and self-expression. Ideal for students and civic activists, this collection serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical context of women's rights and the ongoing dialogue about gender roles.
