Femininity
My mission is to inspire women and girls of all ages to engage in, and enjoy the traditional feminine arts of the women before us. And to be womanly and feminine, and stand out in a world so opposed to this. Enjoying our feminine roles with no apologies. Join me and explore all of the traditional feminine ways, occupations, pastimes and the domestic arts of women throughout history.

"Well, now, there is one very excellent, necessary, and womanly accomplishment that no girl should be without, for it is a help to rich and poor, and the comfort of families depends upon it. This fine talent is neglected nowadays, and considered old-fashioned, which is a sad mistake, and one that I don't mean to make in bringing up my girl. It should be a part of every girl's education, and I know of a most accomplished lady who will teach you in the best and pleasantest manner."
"Oh, what is it?" cried Rose eagerly, charmed to be met in this helpful and cordial way. "Housekeeping!" answered Dr. Alec. "Is that an accomplishment?" asked Rose, while her face fell, for she had indulged in all sorts of vague, delightful dreams. "Yes; it is one of the most beautiful as well as useful of all the arts a woman can learn. Not so romantic, perhaps, as singing, painting, writing, or teaching, even; but one that makes many happy and comfortable, and home the sweetest place in the world. Yes, you may open your big eyes; but it is a fact that I had rather see you a good housekeeper than the greatest belle in the city. It need not interfere with any talent you may possess, but it is a necessary part of your training, and I hope that you will set about it at once, now that you are well and strong." From the book, Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott. |
"Her very soul is in home, and in the discharge of all those quiet virtues of which home is the centre. Her husband will be to her the object of all her care, solicitude and affection. She will see nothing but by him, and through him. If he is a man of sense and virtue, she will sympathize in his sorrows, divert his fatigue, and share his pleasures. If she becomes the property of a churlish or negligent husband, she will suit his taste also, for she will not long survive his unkindness."—SIR WALTER SCOTT--Waverley.

Deuteronomy 11:19 (KJV)
"And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." 
For starters, I love the description given by Matthew Henry in his Complete Commentary of "The Virtuous Woman":

I have a page dedicated to, "FarmGirls" highlighting some famous women who had the determination to change their life to that which they longed for and believed in, and some who were changed by certain circumstances.
One of them is Tasha Tudor, whom I have admired for years and years, after first reading about her in Victoria magazine in the 1980's. She is truly an inspiration. There was a film made about her called, Take Joy! The Magical World of Tasha Tudor. Here is the link, or you can look for it elsewhere online. It is a glimpse into the private life of Tasha, and very inspirational. |
