The Angel in the House

Beth is the embodiment of "The Angel in the House" ; the subject of a popular poem published just 14 years before "Little Women", which detailed what it meant to be the ideal woman.

Painting of: French School 19th-century Woman holding an umbrella

This picture shows a woman who is alone and even might be in the shade reading, but still has her parasol. This picture reminded me of the article on “Daisy Miller: Cowboy Feminist” by Lisa Johnson, where she states “the parasol is intended by society to create a pocket of inside space for women outside” (11).

The beautiful frontispiece to the illustrated Daisy Miller, showing Daisy as mysterious and aloof. Innocent? The image formally shares a resemblance to Sargant's famous painting of Madame X (1884)

Lastly: showing Daisy's ill-fated adventure at the Coliseum. Love the bat! Did the illustrator know that malaria is actually carried by mosquitos?

Maggie, Girl of the Streets
A cover page for the novel. This cover page makes Maggies seem so much more broken and battered than I imagined. It almost seems like this version of Maggie would never make the decisions Maggie does simply because it wouldn't fit who she seemed to be.

This Jacob Riis' photograph shows children in Mullen's Alley (1888). This reminds me of the opening scene of Maggie in which the children, described as urchins, engage in a street fight.

The Rest Cure
This 19th century illustration entitled "The Invalid" depicts what seems to be a woman undergoing the rest cure. According to this treatment, developed by Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell, patients would be forced to rest for weeks, eat rich foods, and avoid overstimulation.

Iola Leroy

Dr. Gresham's Proposal

This depicts Dr. Gresham's marriage proposal and the impact it would have on Iola Leroy's life if she were to hide her heritage. -Sarah B-

Iola and Tom

This photo depicts a Civil War nurse tending to a wounded soldier. I like to think the sketch depicts the tender scene between Iola and Tom, when she kisses him goodbye, eliciting confusion and disgust in Dr. Gresham -Sarah B-

Iola Leroy and Passing For White

This quote on white privilege was taken from the book, published in 1892, and yet, I cannot help but apply it to contemporary American society in 2018...and how it still remains true, in some areas. I wonder what choices Iola would make if she were living in our world- would she face less angst if she married a colored, or even a white husband? -Sarah B-
