ABSTRACT

Whoever has observed the mannerism, the gait, the gestures, and the faces of many sorts of women in recent years will find much that is new. One will see this a little bit in high society, substantially more across all levels of the middle class, and somewhat as well among women of lower status—shop girls, seamstresses, workers, students. In general, many of the women are not factory workers or wretched salaried workers—but even with the exception of those women—one can note something different and new in their expression: something complex and deliberate.
