Divorce And Family Life In Nineteenth-Century Vanderburgh County, Megan Owens
Divorce And Family Life In Nineteenth-Century Vanderburgh County, Megan Owens
Grand Valley Journal of History
In the nineteenth century, private family life was meant to mimic the ideal republican society, providing the necessary foundation for future patriotic citizens.

This paper uses a small sample of divorce records from Vanderburgh County in Indiana to …

Abstract for “Why Chinese Neo-Confucian Women Made a Fetish of Small Feet”
This paper explores the source of the traditional practice of Chinese footbinding which first gained popularity at the end of the Tang dynasty and continued to flourish until the last half of the twentieth century.[1] Derived initially from court concubines whose feet were formed to represent an attractive “deer lady” from an Indian tale, footbinding became a wide-spread symbol among the Chinese of obedience, pecuniary reputability, and Confucianism, among other things.[2],[3] Drawing on the analyses of such scholars as Beverly Jackson, Valerie Steele …
