Women and Politeness in Eighteenth-Century England: Bodies, Identities, and Power - Routledge Studies in Eighteenth-Century Cultures and Societies
Soile Ylivuori
This first in-depth study of women’s politeness examines the complex relationship individuals had with the discursive ideals of polite femininity. Basing its analysis on autobiographical writings as well as didactic literature, the book argues that women had a variety of means to resist the naturalised norms of gendered politeness.
