Synopsis
Addressing the disparity between official ideology and practice, contributors identified only by name discuss idealizing virginity, deferring marriage, making a living, and anticipating widowhood. Some find the stifling effects of misogyny, and others discover not only significant pockets of resistance to inequality, but also a blithe disregard of misogynous tradition on the part of English institutions and individuals.
