Pettengill reads female friendship within The Coquette in terms of sisterhood, which she argues “ a kind of support network that helped a woman establish her identity in opposition to both social and parental authority in an era where both were increasingly challenged .” At the same time, Pettengill insists that the “ emotional-disciplinary circuit that reinforces sisterhood is not operating at full ( theoretical ) capacity .” That is, even though Eliza discusses her life with her friends, they do not fully reciprocate ; instead, they respond primarily by criticizing her actions and warning her against further wrongdoing.
