"The Girl of the Period, and Other Social Essays, Vol. 2" by E. Lynn Linton is a collection of social essays written in the late 19th century. The work delves into various aspects of society, focusing particularly on gender roles, societal norms, and the evolving position of women during that era. Linton critiques those who she perceives as "gushing" individuals, both men and women, and addresses the complexities of young women navigating their transition into adulthood. At the start of the collection, the opening essays explore the concept of the "gushing man," a figure characterized by emotional excess and lack of restraint, which Linton contrasts with the societal ideals of masculinity. She highlights how women tend to accept emotional flaws in men if they exhibit other commendable traits, while a "gushing man" becomes a subject of ridicule. Linton further discusses the dichotomy of "Sweet Seventeen," the age of young women at the cusp of adulthood, examining the challenges they face as they grapple with societal expectations and personal aspirations. Through her incisive commentary, Linton aims to expose the follies and truths of her contemporary social landscape.
