- Title
- Restraining Ophelia; 2004
- Description
- Restraining Ophelia by Elisabeth Muhlenfeld explores the evolution of social norms and restrictions placed on female students at institutions like Sweet Briar College, drawing from historical student handbooks and personal anecdotes. Muhlenfeld reflects on the absurdity of these outdated rules, contrasting them with contemporary understandings of gender equality and personal freedom. The paper delves into the broader implications of these restrictions, examining how they reflect societal attitudes towards women and contribute to our understanding of changing mores over time.
