Sinossi
Excerpt from The Good Englishwoman
My uncle Joseph, a solitary man, once broke the silence of a country walk by asserting with explosive emphasis: "I don't see how any man can understand women." I assented vaguely, and he went on: "How can we ever grasp their point of view, my dear boy, which is so totally different from ours? How can we understand the outlook on life of beings whose instincts, training, purpose, ambitions have so little resemblance to ours? For my part I have given up trying: it is a waste of time. Never let a woman flatter you into thinking that you understand her: she is trying to make you her tool. The Egyptians gave the Sphinx a woman's face and they were right. Women are so mysterious." And the south-west wind took up his words and whispered them to the trees, which nodded their heads and waved their branches, rustling "mysterious, mysterious" in all their leaves.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the evolving characteristics of English womanhood throughout the early 20th century. The author explores how women of this time period were perceived, how they viewed themselves and their place in society, and how these perceptions shifted during a period of significant social and political change. The author argues that English women were not simply passive observers to these changes, but actively pushed for greater equality and a more prominent role in public life. Their influence can be seen in prevailing social norms, such as the role of women in marriage and education, and even in the suffrage movement. The author also explores how aspects of English womanhood were idealized and presented in literature and popular culture of the time. Overall, this book provides a nuanced and thought-provoking look at an important historical moment, offering a greater understanding of women's role in shaping the modern world.
