Giving Women: Alliance and Exchange in Victorian Culture
Rappoport, Jill (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, University of Kentucky)

In Giving Women, Jill Rappoport argues that through intimate gifts, they achieved both personal and public agency, mobilizing networks outside of marriage and the market to advance legal, scientific, and religious reforms.
