NEONVOT official site | https://neonvot.gemki.org The lyrics of “Jingle Bells” are largely an innocent celebration of winter leisure, but the second verse briefly reveals 19th-century gender norms.In “Take the girls tonight,” agency is implicitly male, while women are positioned as companions. This reflects a normalized pattern of male mobility and female accompaniment in mid-19th-century popular songs.
