   In her account of unmarried

women’s experiences in colonial

Philadelphia, Wulf argues that edu-   

Line     cated young women, particularly    

(5)        Quakers, engaged in resistance to 

patriarchal marriage by exchanging

poetry critical of marriage, copying

verse into their commonplace

books. Wulf suggests that this         

(10)      critique circulated beyond the     

daughters of the Quaker elite         

and middle class, whose com-

monplace books she mines,

proposing that Quaker shools

(15)      brought it to many poor female

students of diverse backgrounds.

   Here Wulf probably overstates     

Quaker schools’ impact. At least     

three years’ study would be           

(20)      necessary to achieve the literacy

competence necessary to grapple

with the material she analyzes.

In 1765, the year Wulf uses to        

demonstrate the diversity of            

(25)      Philadelphia’s Quaker schools,

128 students enrolled in these

schools. Refining Wulf’s numbers

by the information she provides

on religious affiliation, gender, and

(30)      length of study, it appears that only

about 17 poor non-quaker girls

were educated in Philadelphia’s

Quaker schools for three years or

longer. While Wulf is correct that    

(35)      a critique of patriarchal marriage 

circulated broadly, Quaker schools

probably cannot be credited with

instilling these ideas in the lower

classes. Popular literary satires

(40)      on marriage had already landed   

on fertile ground in a multiethnic       

population that embodied a wide       

range of marital beliefs and

practices. These ethnic- and

(45)      class-based traditions them-

selves challenged the legitimacy

of patriarchal marriage.
