    Women in early American history were bound by intricate rules of etiquette, attire, and manner. Visitors will meet these modest maidens and those who ?outed the rule book: accused witches, assassins, thieves, and – worse! – stage actresses. The tour brings together objects from across the Rosenbach’s collections: etiquette guides, cautionary tales for children, recipes for homemade cosmetics, trial accounts, paintings, and household furnishings.
