Excerpt from Blue-Stocking Hall, Vol. 2 of 2
Clara, said I, you know that l was always a plain man, and as I am an old fellow, too, and used to abuse your fastidiousness ln days of yore, I have the more plea sure in praising now the sensible, excellent person with whom you have allied yourself. There was a time when 'nothing short of a galaxy of light, a constellation of genius and talent, would have sat'nfied you. I often told you then that you would one day or other discover your mis take, and I hoped not experimentally. I told you that good sense and a sweet disposition were of more value than all the brilliant: upon which you set so high a price. May I not now wish to bear fi'om your own lips that you have proved the truth of my doctrine?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a narrative of genteel life in the early 1800s in Ireland and explores the theme of a woman's role and place within both society and the structure of family and marriage. The author uses first-hand experience to recount the events following her return home after spending time in England. She depicts the culture and social mores of the Irish gentry, contrasting the reality of their lives against their reputation, particularly the lives of women. Offering a thoughtful and sometimes satirical view of relationships and social expectations, this book outlines the limitations and hardships faced by women in a rigidly structured society and provides a critique of the systemic inequalities and double standards confronting those women navigating the complex social norms and power dynamics of the day.
