Women in America
During the first half of the nineteenth century, Tocqueville and Beaumont were joined by scores
of other
European travelers curious about the new republic, and anxious to fill the European demand for
accounts
of American life. Hundreds of these travelogues were published by persons whose reasons for
their
journeys were just as varied as their responses to what they saw. Some came to America to
observe its
schools and prisons; others, to agitate for abolition. Some, like Frances Trollope and Isaac
Fidler, came to
improve their fortunes; other travelers like Francesco Arese were seeking political asylum.
Practical
guides for emigration were avidly consumed, especially in Germany, and other readers enjoyed
the
satisfaction of hearing that the new republic was crude in comparison to their native land.
Tocqueville and Beaumont noted numerous differences between France and the United States;
one of the most striking was the status of women--their domestic roles, their freedom in youth,
their responsibilities in marriage, and their importance to the moral and religious life of the
republic. In diaries and letters, Tocqueville and Beaumont observed all manner of social
gatherings and recorded the conversations with prominent American citizens on a number of
matters, including morality and the status of women.
How accurate was the picture of women in Democracy in America? What parts of
women's
lives did Tocqueville and Beaumont miss? Were there classes of women missing entirely? To
answer these questions, it's helpful to look at the contemporary accounts of other travelers.
There was much agreement among the foreigners about what they saw; for instance, others
besides
Tocqueville and Beaumont commented on the fate of mulatto women in New Orleans, and the
generally lower quality of the arts and music in the U.S. But there was also quite a bit that
Tocqueville and
Beaumont didn't see: for example, they commented only briefly on the Shakers and on the
emotional involvement of women in revivals and camp meetings; they missed the mill workers
in
Lowell, Massachusetts; and they largely omitted the lives of plantation mistresses and female
slaves.
The eighteen travelers included here--Irish, German, Scotch, English, and French--pieced
together form a more complete and varied picture of the life of American women than can be
gleaned from the text of Democracy in America alone.
The texts can be accessed two ways: first, by a chronological listing of authors, each
accompanied by brief introductory remarks framing the visit and providing comparison to the
ideas of the other travelers; and second, by a topical listing, so that the ideas of several authors on
one subject may be more directly compared.
