Moores Fables for the Female Sex

"Moores Fables for the Female Sex" by Edward Moore is a set of short stories using animals to look at right and wrong behaviors, especially for women, during the 1800's. The stories are meant to teach lessons about things like being good, what is beautiful, being silly, and getting along with others. One story is about birds talking about their problems to a powerful eagle, who then has to figure out who is telling the truth. Moore uses these stories to make people think about what was expected of women back then, hoping they would think about their own actions and what they thought was important.
