The book examines societal norms and behaviors, particularly with regard to gender and modesty during the era. Through observational wit, Karr delves into the contrasting notions of modesty among women in different environments, showcasing the tensions between personal expression and societal expectation. At the start of "Bourdonnements," Karr reflects on the notions of female modesty that he observed during his time in Paris and at coastal locations like Étretat. He contrasts the strict and concealed bathing practices of women in Paris with the more relaxed and mixed bathing customs at the seaside, providing a humorous and critical perspective on societal norms regarding women's attire and behavior in public. Karr also touches on broader themes of social justice and political critique, indicating his intention to explore and challenge the societal constructs that confine women and men alike.
