""Women's Whims: Or The Female Barometer"" is a novel written by Xavier B. Saintine and first published in 1850. The book is a satirical exploration of the whims and fancies of women in the mid-nineteenth century. The story follows the life of the protagonist, a young woman named Adeline, as she navigates the expectations and limitations placed upon her by society. Through Adeline's experiences, Saintine highlights the double standards and prejudices that women faced during this time period. The novel is a commentary on the role of women in society and the ways in which they were often reduced to mere objects of male desire. With its witty and insightful commentary, ""Women's Whims"" remains a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural attitudes of the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
