Description: "In Another Self, Linda W. Rosenzweig sheds light on the changing nature of white middle-class American women's relationships during the coming of age of modern America. As Victorian values and traditional communities gave way to a fully mature, urban, industrial society, women's emotional lives experienced profound transformations."--BOOK JACKET.

"Drawing on a wide range of primary sources including diaries, journals, correspondence, and popular periodicals, Rosenzweig uncovers the complex and intricate links between social and cultural developments and women's personal experiences of friendship."--BOOK JACKET.
