This book looks at the cultural criticism of eight of the most significant of these writers: Anna Jameson, Hannah Lawrance, Margaret Oliphant, Marian Evans (\"George Eliot\"), Eliza Lynn Linton, Beatrice Hastings, Rebecca West and Virginia Woolf, providing a detailed and compelling account of how their writing on history, literature and visual art changed contemporaries' understanding of the lessons to be drawn from each field at the same time as they contested and redefined contemporary understandings of masculinity and femininity. It recovers these moralists' understanding of themselves as part of a tradition of women of letters stretching from eighteenth-century bluestockings to their own time, and the growing consensus across the political range of periodicals that women's intellectual potential was equal to men's, and not determined by their sex.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Benjamin Dabby is an independent historian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Dabby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0861933435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780861933433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Benjamin Dabby","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453422252287,"sku":"9780861933433","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfcede88-9c21-4b93-8a09-f98990767244.jpg?v=1777300135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-as-public-moralists-in-benjamin-dabby-9780861933433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
