History

Audacious: New Women, College Girls, and the Gender Fluid in Historical Stereography

Melody Davis

At the turn of the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry, com­mer­cial stere­o­graph­ic com­pa­nies in the U.S. pub­lished nar­ra­tive views that reflect­ed chang­ing gen­der and sex­u­al roles through pop­u­lar top­ics of the day–the New Woman, the col­lege girl, the pro­fes­sion­al and inde­pen­dent woman, and the sales­man. Com­e­dy became a safe­ty valve for a soci­ety con­front­ed with chal­lenges to what was per­ceived as nat­ur­al truths. As the gag became a gaze, the comedic stere­oview tran­si­tioned into depic­tions of inde­pen­dence and expres­sions of plur­al sex­u­al identities.
