Working from the first hand testimony of letters, journals, memoirs, and other contemporary accounts, the author weaves her own delicate yet keen measure of the approved wisdom of the day-that woman was morally, spiritually, and intellectually "the weaker vessel"-with the startling actuality: women of every class, circumstance, and sensibility often defying the narrowness of society's expectations of them in the most unexpected ways."
