About this book
Modern Women and What Is Said of Them, by E. Lynn Linton, is subtitled A Reprint of a Series of Articles in the Saturday Review (1868). An advertisement says the papers on Woman were originally published in the columns of the London Saturday Review. The writer says the girl of the period envies the queens of the demi-monde far more than she abhors them. A further claim is that imitation of the demi-monde in dress leads to something in manner and feeling, and on to slang, bold talk, and fastness, to the love of pleasure and indifference to duty.
The writer describes matrimony, as reconstituted by fashionable scholiasts, as comprising husband, wife and, to relieve the tedium of the situation, a good-looking appendage. The writer also says that every epoch has its own beauty, and that if woman would but learn that truth, she is as beautiful now as a matron of fifty, because in harmony with her years.
