 Sarah Whitney's Review
Carby opens with a discussion of womanhood modeled upon the so-called "cult of true womanhood," a cultural institution created and reinforced in the nineteenth century by guidebooks, education, and social practices.
The act's sexual aggression was socially transferred onto the lustful slave woman, pitting her against the cult of true womanhood's ideal of purity and also creating a fissure between the slave woman and the white mistress, who could transfer her humiliation and anger onto the fl woman.
She assumes the speaking position of "mother," a cornerstone of white women's ideology, though she should be locked out from that position as a "breeder" with no parental claims, and as an unmarried woman claiming a mother's sphere.

 Womanhood And Marriage
To form for ourselves, however, an idea of womanhood we must have some understanding of the place which woman is intended to fill in the universe.
It is not only her own children whose better impulses are nourished by the sunshine of her smile; all who come near her feel the heartening effect of her personality, and are better because they have come within the sphere of her influence.
This is the ideal of womanhood which springs from a study of her individual place in the plan of life.

 Crosswalk.com - The Language of Biblical Womanhood
For while God clearly calls all older women to school the younger women in the art of biblical womanhood (Titus 2:3-5), one of the most important teacher-student relationships is between a mother and her daughter.
Biblical womanhood displays the truth that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
This must be the aspiration of all mothers and daughters: the successful transfer of the qualities of biblical womanhood that sparkle with the gospel — so that in the midst of this me-centered, self-focused, ungodly language of our culture, we can speak the refreshingly pure, altogether true, and saving message of Jesus Christ.

 Metaphysical Womanhood
I think that, on the contrary, much of the rewards that can be derived from the practice of poetry come from that experience in which conception, symbolization and signification mysteriously merge in one of those sudden and unexpected leaps of meaning.
Womanhood, being the chief guardian of the cult of symbolism, was a major hurdle to the individualizing impulse in Protestantism.
The loss of metaphysical womanhood has meant that women, now, play at being men: they put their energy into the ‘public.’ Thus they sacrifice the ‘inner sanctum’ for the worldly prize.

 Womanhood - Tammy Wynette - Music Reviews
There is no denying that the opening of "Womanhood" is spellbinding -- the bass part alone could be transplanted to a grindcore album without a moan of dissent from headbangers.
Likewise, when the show's host, Wolfman Jack, is mentioned in the lyrics, later generations may think the country diva is singing about the monster with the full-moon love-hate relationship.
But the usual is where the rest of the album's material goes, including a dreary ballad sung from the point of view of a rich, loveless country star, and it isn't Patty Loveless.

 Søland, B.: Becoming Modern: Young Women and the Reconstruction of Womanhood in the 1920s.
Historians have generally located the origins of this shift in women's lives in the upheavals of World War I. Birgitte Søland's exquisite social and cultural history suggests, however, that they are to be found not in the war itself, but in much broader social and economic changes.
Søland's engrossing chronicle draws on a rich variety of sources--including popular media and medical works as well as archival records and oral histories--to examine how notions of femininity and womanhood were reshaped in Denmark, a small, largely agrarian country that remained neutral during the war.
It explores changes in the female body and personality, the forays of young women into the public sphere, the redefinition of female respectability, and new understandings of married life as evidenced in both cultural discourses and social practices.

 What Is Womanhood?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Secondly, as we seek a vision for womanhood, the first obstacle we need to overcome is our notion that we are here on earth solely to find fulfillment, to be applauded, or to achieve something "important" or "significant" according to the world’s definition of those words.
We are exhorted to work with our hands, to speak with "the law of kindness," to minister to others outside of our homes and to set an example of godly creativity that inspires and encourages.
The changing dictates of fashion no longer need pull us to and fro in the endless round of what is "new" and "fun" and "fulfilling." We have a greater purpose that calls us beyond the everyday-ness of life and reminds us of eternity.

 New women and new negroes: archetypal womanhood in The Living Is Easy African American Review - Find Articles
Cleo's poor fit within her pre-World War I context raises the question of how late 19th- and early 20th-century ideals of womanhood and racial citizenship colluded to circumscribe women's identities, narrowly defining their roles even as the dawn of New Negrohood promised African Americans greater self-determination and social mobility.
Mapping this paradigm onto the cultural context of the 1920's United States, critic Maria Balshaw similarly identifies the New Woman as a discomfiting individual whose "emancipation" disrupted the era's notions of "managing the body as a means of controlling the body politic" (130).
One finds reflected in these analyses of New Womanhood early 20th-century concerns about the social, economic, and political shifts brought about by "a new world of science, war, technology, and imperialism" (Baker 4).

 Literary Encyclopedia: Cult of True Womanhood
Cott and Smith-Rosenberg interpreted the ideology of True Womanhood and separate spheres as a vehicle for a distinctive women's culture, while Douglas argued that women gained power from their roles in the private sphere to contribute to the development of mass consumerist culture.
While the paradigm of True Womanhood is based on historical evidence, its elevation by contemporary scholars signified a political attempt to create a domain for women's self-articulation and self-empowerment in literary and cultural history.
The advice literature aimed at middle-class readers appeared at a time when women from various economic classes and regions were raising a number of difficult questions about their rights and opportunities that were not easily answered and certainly not easily put down, even by the wide dissemination of conduct manuals.
