WOMAN's POSITION
What is a woman's right position is a question often asked and variously answered. Speaking as a Christian I unhesitatingly answer that it is to be an helpmeet for man.

Guidelines and precepts for feminine behavior in Victorian England, particularly religious life. More nuanced than I expected. No author attribution, but the publisher also published "The Literary Churchman" twice a month.

added by Katharine Hadow.
Oh that girls would try to be modest in their appearance, careful in their conversation, and particular in the way they are treated, how much might they do for men. There is less manly refinement amongst men of the lower classes than in those above them. Why? Not because gentlemen are more religious, but because society will not stand coarseness.
Page 27,
added by Katharine Hadow.
A great deal depends upon the wife. She may sink into a mere drudge, afraid of her husband and the slave of her children; a useless frightened woman afraid to speak the truth, unable to keep order, and yet longing for better things.
Page 65,
added by Katharine Hadow.
I expected the author to admonish women to obey their husbands and be content with whatever life handed them. Instead she--I assume the author was a woman--encouraged them to be strong and independent.
