Why read it?
1 author picked The Autobiography of a Tomboy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Gilder’s memoir of growing up in the 1860s as a boyish girl will seem remarkably contemporary to those who equate nineteenth-century girls and women with corsets and overly important etiquette. Gilder writes about baseball, pranks, and various attempts to look like a boy, confirming an instinctual tomboy identity even at a time when females could not legally wear pants.
From Renée's list on tomboys by a historian of tomboys.
