Manner’s written by Sarah Josepha Hale is a conduct manual. Dictating in detail what a real American woman is and how they should act. (From dinner parties, to holidays, to a simple conversation.) Hale’s writings have instructions on appropriate etiquette, organization, and philosophy. The concept of the domestic sphere and the cult of domesticity sprout from this manual. Manners define the role of women in the household and their universal value for the betterment of society.
