Dimity Convictions
Dimity Convictions: The American Woman in the Nineteenth Century by Barbara Welter
A collection of essays, ringing changes on the theme of the Cult of True Womanhood, the most influence being the essay on it. Covers such subjects as medical treatment and detective fiction. A bit cherry-picked in sources but the stuff covered did exist.
