What to Wear?
Six essays exploring social, moral, economic, and gender issues surrounding women's clothing.
A Consuming Faith
In A Consuming Faith, Susan Curtis analyzes the startling convergence of two events previously treated independently: the emergence of a modern consumer-oriented culture and the rise of the social gospel movement. By examining the lives and works of individuals who identified themselves as social gospelers, rather than just groups or individuals who fit a particular definition, Curtis is able to capture the very fluidity of the term social gospel as it was used. In addition to exploring the time in which the movement took shape, Curtis provides biographical sketches of traditional figures involved in various aspects of the social gospel movement such as Walter Rauschenbusch, Washington Gladd...
The Silent Partner
Reprint of the original, first published in 1871.
Trixy
Trixy is a 1904 novel by the best-selling but largely forgotten American author and women’s rights activist Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. The book decries the then common practice of vivisection, or scientific experiments on live animals. In Trixy, contemporary readers can trace the roots of the early animal rights movement in Phelps’s influential campaign to introduce legislation to regulate or end this practice. Phelps not only presents a narrative polemic against the cruelty of vivisection but argues that training young doctors in it makes them bad physicians. Emily E. VanDette’s introduction demonstrates that Phelps’s protest writing, which included fiction, pamphlets, essays, and spe...

Neuroeconomics
The premise that emotions influence decisions is widely accepted, but relatively few studies have directly measured or manipulated emotional variables during decision making. This chapter surveys the current literature on this topic. Emotion modulates choices through two main routes. The first is through incidental affect, in which a baseline affective state can shift choices, although it is unrelated to the decision. This can be assessed through techniques such as stress or mood induction, and affective priming. The second way emotion can influence decisions is by being directly incorporated into the value computation during choice. For example, it has been shown that physiological arousal responses to the choice options or outcomes are linked to decisions. If we can characterize how emotion modulates choices, then we should also be able to alter choices by changing emotional states. We discuss how techniques such as emotion regulation and targeting memory reconsolidation might flexibly modulate choice.
Entangled Lives
An enlightening look at American women's work in the late eighteenth century. What was women's work truly like in late eighteenth-century America, and what does it tell us about the gendered social relations of labor in the early republic? In Entangled Lives, Marla R. Miller examines the lives of Anglo-, African, and Native American women in one rural New England community—Hadley, Massachusetts—during the town's slow transformation following the Revolutionary War. Peering into the homes, taverns, and farmyards of Hadley, Miller offers readers an intimate history of the working lives of these women and their vital role in the local economy. Miller, a longtime resident of Hadley, follows a...
