How Public Speaking Sparks a Crowd to Listen
A reflective piece on women addressing public issues and the influence of appearance and emotion. The author notes the appeal of a well dressed speaker, the crowd’s warm reception, and questions the resistance to women speaking in public while recognizing the persuasive power of presentation.
Enduring Gender Roles and Family Duties Across Nations
The piece argues masculine absorption in work is not a justification for unequal domestic burdens. It contrasts French and English practices of supporting wives, educating sons, and social life with American expectations that overburden women. It links such gender imbalance to women’s nerves and rising restlessness.
The Origin of Livery in Service Dress
The wearing of livery by male servants stems from times when great lords kept large bands of retainers bound to fight for their masters and perform services. On special occasions, they dressed in their lord’s livery and became a miniature army.
