"Letters to Herself: Women and Individuality in Nineteenth-Century America" examines the gendered history of the individual in America through the lens of nineteenth-century women's letters and personal writing. These written sources demonstrate the revolutionary process of self-making by nineteenth-century women, as evidenced in specific fields of individuation - in religion and spirituality, in marriage, in health and medicine, and in politics - as well as in the physical act of writing by articulating and enacting their individuality on the written page. I have used letters produced by Susan Howland, a prominent Quaker minister from New Bedford, Massachusetts, Amy Post, a spirited abolitionist and women's rights activist from Rochester, New York, and Frances Seward, the wife of distinguished New York politician William H. Seward to guide discussion, but I invite readers to consider the wider implications of their efforts to construct, assert, and activate their individuality for other women of the period. Nineteenth-century women broadened the definition of the individual in America, the significance of which has yet to be fully acknowledged, an oversight with serious social and political implications for those individuals who traditionally fall outside historic definitions grounded in gender and race.
