- Description
- Jessica C. Murphy demonstrates that the virtues of silence, chastity and obedience were by no means as direct and inflexible as they might seem. Drawing on the literature of the period, from the plays of Shakespeare to a conduct manual written for a princess to letters from a wife to her husband, as well as contemporary gender theory and philosophy, she uncovers the multiple meanings of behavioral expectations for sixteenth- and seventeenth-century women. Through her renegotiation of cultural ideals as presented in both literary and nonliterary texts of early modern England, Murphy presents models for “acceptable” women’s conduct that lie outside of the rigid prescriptions of the time.

- Description
- The 1960s and 1970s produced provocative fashion trends that reflected the rising wave of gender politics and the sexual revolution. In an era when gender stereotypes were questioned and dismantled, and when the feminist and gay rights movements were gaining momentum and a voice, the fashion industry responded in kind. Designers from Paris to Hollywood imagined a future of equality and androgyny. The unisex movement affected all ages, with adult fashions trickling down to school-aged children and clothing for infants. Between 1965 and 1975, girls and women began wearing pants to school: boys enjoyed a brief 'peacock revolution', sporting bold colors and patterns: and legal battles were fought over hair style and length.

- Description
- Christine de Pizan (1364-c.1430) composed ‘Le Livre de la Cité des Dames’ as a response to the misogynistic writings of the time. In 1475, Jan de Baenst, a descendant of a Bruges family, ordered a translation,'Het Bouc van de Stede der Vrauwen'. This book tells the story of this codex by focusing on the background of the commissioner, the codicological aspects, the illumination program (41 miniatures), and the translator’s personal epilogue. With a summary in Dutch and French.
