Antebellum Women: Private, Public, Partisan answers the question by going beyond previous works in the field. The authors identify three phases in the changing relationship of women to civic and political activities. They first situate women as \"deferential domestics\" in a world of conservative gender expectations; then map out the development of an ideology that allowed women to leverage their familial responsibilities into participation as \"companionate co-workers\" in movements of religion, reform, and social welfare; and finally trace the path of those who followed their causes into the world of politics as \"passionate partisans.\" The book includes a selection of primary documents that encompasses both well-known works and previously unpublished texts from a variety of genres, making Antebellum Women a unique one-volume work that will introduce readers to the documentary record as well as to the vibrant body of historical work on gender in the early nineteenth century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Lasser, Stacey Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742551970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742551978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Carol Lasser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947064393983,"sku":"9780742551978","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_745cf7d1-00eb-459b-8659-4edbfee8f796.jpg?v=1681516500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/antebellum-women-carol-lasser-9780742551978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
