520    "Images of the corseted, domestic, white middle-class 
       female and the black woman as slave mammy or jezebel loom 
       large in studies of nineteenth-century womanhood, despite 
       recent critical work exploring alternatives to those 
       images. [In this book, the author] focuses on women's 
       bodies as a site for their public self-construction. 
       Rather then relying on familiar binaries such as public/
       private and victim/agent, Piepmeier presents women's 
       public embodiment as multiple, transitional, strategic, 
       playful, and contested. Piepmeier looks closely at the 
       lives and works of actress and playwright Anna Cora Mowatt
       (1819-1871), Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy 
       (1821-1910), abolitionist and feminist orator Sojourner 
       Truth (1797-1883), antilynching journalist Ida B. Wells 
       (1862-1931), and Godey's Lady's Book editor Sarah Josepha 
       Hale (1788-1879). Piepmeier's analysis of these women 
       places their written documents in conjunction with salient
       cultural contexts, including freak shows, scientific 
       writing, tall tales, and popular visual images of athletic
       women. By destablizing and complicating traditional binary
       categories, Piepmeier makes culturally obscured or 
       unreadable aspects of women's lives visible, offering a 
       more complete understanding of nineteenth-century female 
       corporeality"--Publisher description.
