Book Synopsis New and Improved by : John C. Spurlock
Book excerpt: As the Victorian era drew to a close, women began moving out of the home and into a public realm long claimed by men. Drawing on diaries, letters, and memoirs of women from a wide range of backgrounds and geographic regions, this volume offers insights into middle-class women's experiences of American culture in the transition between the Victorian era and 20th-century modern life.
