This work functions as a response to a previous pamphlet titled "Mundus Muliebris: Or, The Ladies Dressing-Room Unlocked," and critiques the societal expectations placed upon women concerning their attire and vanity. Evelyn's examination serves to highlight the absurdity of stringent gender norms of his time through humor and wit. In this poem, the author articulates a defense of women's right to adorn themselves and critique the mockery they face from men. Using a variety of poetic devices, he addresses the hypocrisy of male criticism towards women's fashion and leisure, while exposing their own foibles in vanity and ostentation. Evelyn creates a dialogue that emphasizes the significance of self-expression through dress, arguing that just as men indulge in their fopperies, women too should have the liberty to enjoy their personal style and elegance without reproach. Through this vibrant and engaging narrative, he challenges the predetermined notions of masculinity and femininity, calling for a recognition of individuality in both sexes.
