As The Victorian Era Drew To A Close, American Culture Experienced A Vast Transformation. In Many Ways, The Culture Changed Even More Rapidly And Profoundly For Women. The New Woman, The New Freedom, And The Sexual Revolution All Referred To Women Moving Out Of The Victorian Home And Into The Public Realm That Men Had Long Claimed As Their Own. Drawing On The Diaries, Letters, And Memoirs Of Women From A Wide Range Of Backgrounds And Geographic Regions, John C. Spurlock And Cynthia A.
