In the early nineteenth century, Victorian assumptions about women and their abilities were still alive and raging within the mainstream American society. One Victorian assumption would be through emotions, or a woman’s manner of expression, which was more apparent than a man’s own show of emotion. These minor differences on “manner of expression” between the two genders allowed even more damaging assumptions and stereotypes to flourish and stay relevant within the society.
