Description
The Portland Transcript was published weekly from 1849 to 1910. Its tagline was "An independent family journal of literature, news, &c."
This issue contains an article entitled "Nathaniel Hawthorne on women's rights." In his short statement (p. 221) the author contends that women should remain within their own proper sphere: "Her place is at man's side. Her office, that of sympathizer; the unreserved, unquestioning believer . . . . The heart of true womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it."
