The longest-running war is the battle over how women should behave. Conduct Books and the History of the Ideal Woman examines six centuries of advice literature, analyzing the print origins of gendered expectations that continue to inform our thinking about womens roles and abilities. Close readings of numerous conduct manuals from Britain and America, written by men and women, explain and contextualize the legacy of sexism as represented in prescriptive writing for women from 1372 to the present. While existing period-specific studies of conduct manuals consider advice literature within the society that wrote and read them, Conduct Books and the History of the Ideal Woman provides the only analysis of both the volumes themselves and the larger debates taking place within their pages across the centuries. Combining textual literary analysis with a social history sensibility while remaining accessible to expert and novice, this book will help readers understand the on-going debate about the often-contradictory guidelines for female behavior.
