Samplers, social capital, and the formation of feminine identities: The embroidery work of Leah Galligher and her students, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1798--1802. - 69 p.

Professor in charge: Bernard L. Herman.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Delaware (Winterthur Program), 2002.

This thesis investigates the role women's material culture played in the formation of eighteenth-century class identity using a group of ten samplers produced under Leah Galligher's direction in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. First I show that the heads of household who patronized Galligher's school all came from the middling rank. Then I demonstrate Galligher's instruction constituted a form of apprenticeship that built human capital (skills and knowledge) and social capital (the formation of social identities). Sampler making therefore was a form of work, or productive labor, crucial to the household. Using the idea of social capital, I examine how the samplers built their makers' reputations by forming a community of sensibility that adapted gentility for bourgeois definition. Finally, I consider how the samplers functioned in Leah Galligher's presentation of self, placing them against the tumultuous events of her life, a divorce due to her husband's impotency and the public scandal that ensued.
