在世纪晚期的英国中产阶级家庭中,客厅、晨间和闺房越来越多地与女性联系在一起,而餐厅、书房和吸烟室则被视为男性空间。历史学家将其与女性被排除在社会权力之外以及男性“逃离家庭”联系起来。本文质疑这些解释,并通过建议手册,库存和销售目录,自传探索性别空间。虽然家庭空间应该在男性和女性之间划分的概念具有相当大的文化购买力,但这种划分的方式受到争议,并受到日常生活实际突发事件的限制。在存在性别物质文化的家庭中,它对童年经历和成年身份的形成产生了强大的影响。
In the middle‐class home in late nineteenth‐century England, drawing rooms, morning rooms and boudoirs became increasingly associated with women, while dining rooms, studies and smoking rooms were viewed as male spaces. Historians have linked this to the exclusion of women from social power and a male ‘flight from domesticity’. This article questions these interpretations and explores gendered space through advice manuals, inventories and sale catalogues, and autobiographies. While the notion that domestic space should be divided between men and women had considerable cultural purchase, the ways in which this should occur were subject to dispute and limited by the practical contingencies of everyday living. In homes where gendered material culture was present, it exerted a powerful influence on childhood experience and the formation of adult identities.
