Abstract

This chapter ecplores models of femininity with practical applications for girls outside the home. Moruzi uses the Girls’ Friendly Society as a case study to demonstrate how religious magazines aimed at girls in the 1860s and 1870s supported the work of the charity through the promotion of an idealised form of philanthropic girlhood (dutiful, moral, and virtuous) that readers were encouraged to emulate, irrespective of their class positions. Yet by tracing the promotion of the charity through magazines aimed at girls of different classes, including the Monthly Packet (1851–99), which targeted middle-class girls, and the Girls’ Own Paper (1880–1956), which largely addressed working-class and lower-middle-class girls, Moruzi shows that the specific roles and behavioural expectations assigned to girls were very much aligned with their class. In spite of these tensions, these magazines helped to foster communities of girls bound by common reading materials and active engagement with charitable pursuits.
通过英国女孩期刊鼓励慈善工作和加入女孩友好协会
这一章探讨了女性气质的模型与实际应用的女孩在家庭之外。Moruzi以“女孩友好协会”为例,展示了19世纪60年代和70年代针对女孩的宗教杂志是如何通过促进理想形式的慈善女孩(尽职尽责,道德高尚)来支持慈善工作的,鼓励读者模仿,而不管他们的阶级地位如何。然而,通过追踪针对不同阶层女孩的杂志对慈善事业的推广,包括针对中产阶级女孩的《月报》(1851-99)和主要针对工人阶级和中下层女孩的《女孩自己的报纸》(1880-1956),Moruzi表明,分配给女孩的特定角色和行为期望与她们的阶级非常一致。尽管存在这些紧张关系,但这些杂志帮助培养了由共同阅读材料和积极参与慈善活动的女孩组成的社区。
