520 |a In this article, I trace widespread popular representations of Quaker women's bonnets from the 1850s through the 1930s in fiction, image, film, and music.

Observers saw in the bonnet a host of alluring traits, which muted the potential spiritual and political virtuosity of the Quaker woman beneath it. The bonnet itself became a convenient and erotic shorthand for Quaker women in general, and today provides a helpful lens for understanding the ways in which public memory shapes the religious feminine in American culture.
