Jabour, Anya. Marriage in the Early Republic: Elizabeth and William Wirt and the Companionate Ideal. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998.
Notes: In the early American Republic the beau ideal was in vogue. It called for companionate marriage characterized by egalitarian, loving relations between husband and wife whose mutual happiness was foremost. Unfortunately, other ideologies prevented the reaalization of the beau ideal. Men pursued the cult of the self-made man, and women found value in the cult of domesticity (true womanhood) which stressed women's duties in the home and rebuked the male dominated public sphere. The Wirts wanted the beau ideal, but separate duties, often in separate locales, undermined their efforts.

Jacob, Kathryn Allamong. "The Woman's Lot in Baltimore Town, 1729-97." Maryland Historical Magazine 71 (Fall 1976): 283-95.
Notes: Finds that "with few exceptions the Baltimore woman's whole life style and social status was largely determined by the wealth of the men in her life" (283). Marriage and procreation was a woman's lone duty. Large families were the norm, and illegitimate births were common, often resulting in mulatto children. In addition, financial necessity forced many women to work outside the home. Married women of all classes were <em>femme covert</em> (legal non-entities). Single women and widows had <em>femme sole</em> (legal entity) status.

Levering, Patricia W., and Ralph B. Levering. "Women in Relief: The Carroll County Children's Aid Society in the Great Depression." Maryland Historical Magazine 72 (Winter 1977): 534-46.
Notes: Examines how a rural county in Mid-Maryland dealt with the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Before the New Deal and state programs were implemented, responsibility for aid fell to private organizations. The Children's Aid Society, ran by women, helped Carroll Countians survive the Great Depresssion. The authors hypothesize that rural areas with self-help operations endured the depression better and longer that urban areas.
