The Feminization of American Culture
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.
Author: Ann Douglas
Year: 1977

Description: The jacket describes this book in these words: “How the Victorian alliance between women and the clergy, and the popular literature to which that alliance gave birth, fostered a sentimental society and the beginnings of modern mass culture.” This is a challenging, provocative book, worth the read.
