| Research Abstract |
Focusing on the decades between the American Revolution and the antebellum period, this study analyzes how the transformation of print culture influenced gender relations and vice versa. In the aftermath of the Revolution a flood of printed material helped to shape a modern public sphere that was multilayered and often more strictly restricted by race and gender. Many middle-class women, who were excluded from suffrage, began to play prominent roles in education and the publishing industry. This study reveals that most of their language and behaviors associated with female benevolence and virtue not only endorsed the concept of "women's sphere" but helped spread the idea of expanding the "Empire of Liberty" across the country.
