5.0 out of 5 stars
Engrossing study of girls' lives in the late 19th century,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How Young Ladies Became Girls: The Victorian Origins of American Girlhood (Hardcover)
In this utterly engrossing volume, Hunter examines the culture of American girls, mostly middle-class to wealthy, in the era of separate spheres and rapidly expanding secondary education. One of her most interesting points is that girls frequently outnumbered boys in early high schools, and girls' participation in school government paved the way for women's formal political participation a bit later on. Hunter offers a nuanced, in-depth picture of girls' lives, replete with illustrations and colorful anecdotes. Highly recommended.
