Synopsis
Excerpt from Impressions of America, Vol. 2 of 2: During the Years 1833, 1834, and 1835
It was about dusk when we landed; and I was at first greatly surprised by the numbers of pret ty and neatly-dressed women we encountered strolling about, or chatting together in groups, wholly unattended by the other sex. I was quickly reminded, however, that at this season of the year the husbands, lovers, and sons of the community are mostly absent in their vessels fishing on the banks of Newfoundland, and not returnable under ten or twelve weeks.
I cannot help observing that it does infinite credit to the moderation of these citoyennes that they forbear from taking the sovereign rule. Into their own hands at these times, since assuredly they possess the power of numbers to enforce submission, were the resident housekeepers hardy enough to offer resistance.
