Reviews

'An important contribution to an expanding literature on prescriptive materials in the eighteenth century.' - Times Literary Supplement. 'Cohen's book is a highly original and beautifully crafted piece of work. It overflows with ideas and sheds fresh light on a wide range of issues relevant to gender historians of this period...This thought-provoking book should clearly provoke further research.' - Elizabeth Foyster, Clare College, Cambridge, UK
