Explore the profound shifts in female emancipation across the West from 1890 to 2000 in Cas Wouters’ compelling book, SEX AND MANNERS. Delving into American, Dutch, English, and German books of manners, this study reveals how changing courtship norms, from the decline of chaperonage to new workplace codes, empowered women. Discover how women gained agency through financial independence, career opportunities, and sexual subjectivity, shifting the balance of power between the sexes. Wouters expertly traces the move from external social controls to internal emotional regulation, offering a fascinating comparison between US and European trends and a critical look at American dating’s double standards. This groundbreaking work, published in association with Theory, Culture & Society, offers an essential perspective on the evolution of gender relations.
