Louden-Hanes, Marie. "Winslow Homer and the Demimonde," American Culture Studies Program, Bowling Green State University, December 1994.
The focus of this research was the subject of female sexuality in the work of American artist, Winslow Homer (1836-1910). The geographic locus identified in the work was the urbanized northeast. It was concluded that although Homer’s depictions appear to live up to the American ideal established for nineteenth-century middle-class women, more complex issues including images related to illicit sexuality were represented in his work. Recent studies in the social sciences concerning illicit female sexuality in nineteenth-century illustrated weeklies corroborate the findings presented in this research.
