Pg 24,

[Sarah] Hale [...] dedicated her Ladies' Magazine to the modest goal of educating women, "not that they may usurp the station, or encroach on the prerogatives of man; but that each individual may lend her aid to the intellectual and moral character of those within her sphere." [...] It was a career that revealed all the ambiguities of image-making as a means of self-advancement. Hale was a businesswoman anxious for success, but she gained respectability by advising a domestic role for women.

We have never stopped having to critique housewife influencers I see

Pg 26,

"Starve us to prevent us from getting drunk!" union leaders bitterly commented on the temperance argument for low wages

The "poor people are buying drugs instead of food" discourse has been around for at least 200 years too, in this case borne out of overt calls for wage suppression as tactic to indirectly enforce sobriety‽

Unitarianism stressed the value of intellectual liberty and social harmony, thus reflecting the interests of well-educated people too committed to Enlightenment ideals to govern willingly by visible authority.

The THIRD thing on page FIVE alone that makes me go 👀

I should not have held off reading this book for so long this is already so totally compelling. But also this is quite a statement to make in the history/premise chapter. As just like a given apparently? Fuck em up Anne

You’re making me feel like some cryptid being studied by Steve Irwin 🥰

So for my sporadic sermon this time around, let us remember these teachings from yours truly…🙏

Your body is a temple

Allow all to enter

Cum so plenty

The balls are always empty

Be not afraid

Take that cock

Big and hard

Bounce up and down

Shake side to side

Sing that glug-glug sound

Loud and proud

Stuffed so full

Round and taut

For there is no shame

With gallons gushing out

Printed cotton day dress with sleeve inserts

American, ca. 1833

Frequently satirized by caricaturists, enormous gigot, or leg-of-mutton, sleeves were the defining characteristic of women's fashionable dress at the height of the Romantic period around 1830.   Ballooning out from the shoulder and tapering tightly at the wrist, their exaggerated proportions deliberately evoked similarly voluminous sleeves of the late sixteenth century and enhanced the ideal hourglass silhouette with its small waist and full, rounded skirts. Crescent-shaped down-filled pads often kept the sleeves properly expanded; pinned to the corset underneath, they could be used interchangeably with different gowns.

Most unusually, this floral-printed cotton day dress retains its sized linen sleeve supports that were clearly intended to be worn with this dress. Attached to the interior shoulder seams with tape ties, they are an exceptionally rare survival of an undergarment with its original attire.

Although British cottons continued to be imported into the United States in the post-Revolutionary years, it may be that this sturdy twilled cotton with pink, blue, and green blossoms and meandering vines set off against a rich, brown ground is of American manufacture. By the 1820s, the domestic printed cotton industry had increased significantly from its tentative beginnings in late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with large firms established in New England and along the Hudson River.  Floral-patterned cottons were a perennial favorite for day dresses in the 1820s and 1830s, especially for the warmer months from spring to early fall. Probably made by the wearer herself rather than a professional seamstress, the gown and its sleeve inserts demonstrate that American women were well aware of, and followed as closely as possible, current fashions from abroad.
