A Description

A Brief Description in Terminology


BlueStockings- A term used as early as the 18th century to refer to an intellectual woman. The term later developed negative implications, and in some instances such women were stereotyped as being "frumpy". In modern culture, the term has become synonymous with the American women's suffrage movement, and in consequence, a symbol of change, empowerment, and daring.


Blue Jeans- A symbol of independence, autonomy, the frontier, and boundlessness. Once women got a hold of blue jeans, there was no limit to what they would accomplish.
