Briggs She was always making ready to die, and kept her burial clothing in a certain drawer in her bureau, which I was afraid to look into. She lived until I was fifteen years old, and sank quietly to sleep one beautiful May after noon. I was sick at the time and alone in my room. I remember the buzzing of the flies; the humming of the bees; the flood of warm sunshine streaming over my bed; the fragrance of a bunch of arbutus brought me by a de voted young boy friend my father walking up and down past the door, his head bowed and his hands behind him. This was the first death in our home, and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. There was no running in of neighbors, as was the fashion in those days, but all was hushed and waiting for the end. I remember, too, being very perverse and refusing to have a black ribbon put on my bonnet, because I could not endure the wear ing of mourning, and I have never worn it since. We lived in a large, rambling old house, more than a hundred years old, and full of strange dark places known as holes, which I believed were haunted and I had agreat fear of them, though sometimes my curiosity got the better of my fear, and I rummaged about among the broken furniture, spinning wheels.

This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feminine script of early nineteenth century centered on women's role as patient, long-suffering mothers. By mid-century, 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 century—from 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 nineteenth-century notion of "true womanhood" to the socioeconomic and somatic realities of middle-class 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 their daughters 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 long-standing questions in women's history and invites women's historians to explore alternative explanatory frameworks.
