Englishwomen's domestic behavior changed radically between 1750 and 1850. Women distanced themselves from their kitchens, from food preparation, from serving, and even from food consumption. This distance was the result of widespread changes in acceptable roles for upper-middle and upper-class women. Women were taught to abandon their labors in the kitchen and to dominate a new sphere, assuming new duties in the dining and drawing rooms.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Englishwomen's domestic behavior changed radically between 1750 and 1850. Women distanced themselves from their kitchens, from food preparation, from serving, and even from food consumption. This distance was the result of widespread changes in acceptable roles for upper-middle and upper-class women. Women were taught to abandon their labors in the kitchen and to dominate a new sphere, assuming new duties in the dining and drawing rooms.
520 $a The purpose of this project has been to determine, through the use of conduct manuals, etiquette books, medical treatises, and cookbooks, how expectations of women changed throughout the period in question and how these expectations laid a framework in which women were taught the socially acceptable ways to exercise their femininity. These expectations reveal how women came to perceive their changing roles, and thus how feminine identity was constructed and comprehended.
520 $a New guidelines identified ladylike behavior with a lack of cooking, with impeccable table manners, and with a willingness to embrace new rituals such as the procession into the dining room. This new etiquette demanded a strict adherence that made the display of one's manners an indication of one's morality. Cooking was left to the hired help, and women were taught new methods of serving which would allow the servants to bear most of the responsibility. These changes forced many women to abandon their traditional roles as food providers and forced them to re-evaluate their ideals since much of their femininity had been associated with their ability to cook and furnish meals.
520 $a Women were also taught food avoidances on two levels: by the etiquette manuals which discouraged eating certain foods in this heightened climate of scrutiny, and by doctors who recommended avoidance for health and sexual reasons. These avoidances influenced the way in which women perceived their femininity by teaching them to forsake their conventional practical roles as well as stifling their sexuality in an effort to embrace a more ethereal concept of womanhood.
