| Summary | "La femme au dix-huitième siècle" by Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the lives of women during the 18th century in France, aiming to uncover the nuances and complexities of female existence that have often been overlooked or simplified in historical narratives. The authors intend to provide a detailed examination of society's mores, psychological realities, and the social roles that shaped women's experiences during this pivotal era. The beginning of the text sets the stage by reflecting on the societal reception of female births in the 18th century, emphasizing that a girl was often seen as a disappointment compared to a male heir. The narrative continues with an in-depth description of the upbringing and education of girls, highlighting the influence of a governess in molding them into suitable future wives. The authors explore the stark contrasts between the joys and constraints faced by women, their relegation to roles defined by marriage and society's expectations, and the intricate dynamics within their relationships. An underlying theme emerges regarding the sacrifices, expectations, and realities of women's lives, which invites readers to engage with a historical context that profoundly shapes contemporary discussions about gender roles and identities.
