| This article suggests that research, based on a critical review of literature, no longer examine the association movement in emerging bourgeois society separate from the informal social intercourse of the new cultural elite. Social historians and feminist researchers on gender tend to disagree on the issue whether the project of bourgeois society realistically envisaged merely a successive emancipation of different populations, or whether the exclusion of all women from the new political public sphere represents an essential aspect of male self-definition. In dealing with this question, it is helpful to examine the broad spectrum of social structures being formed. This article challenges research on clubs and salons using specific examples of confusing findings, breaking the analysis into three steps. First, societies are viewed to which women indeed had access. It is conceivable that this was far more widespread than has been assumed up to now. Then, social interaction in public spaces of the educated elite are examined in a critical manner to see whether the women of these houses were really "equal" discussion partners - in contrast to everywhere else in society - as is suggested in research on the salon hostesses. Opposing such a claim is the fact that normative rules for social intercourse prescribed very different roles for men and women. Finally, there is an examination of how the isolation of women from the male members of the societies - which cannot be denied and which steadily increased in the nineteenth century - was justified and legitimized, what functions this isolation served, and what results it was able to achieve. It was part of a model, according to which bourgeois society was made up of separate public and domestic domains. | |
