Carol walks on the beach in Sanibel, Florida, with her father, Dr. Clarence Hemingway. She appears modest and reserved, not playful and childlike. Her clothing is distinctly feminine.

Carol observes her father fishing. The photograph demonstrates the large role that traditionally masculine activities played in the Hemingway family.

 

Carol on the beach with her mother, Grace Hall Hemingway. She remains reserved, not like a typical child.

Carol actually fishes with her father, but she is still dressed like a little woman.

Carol holds and supports her brother Leicester, indicating the early childcare all the girls learned.

With Madeleine in Windmere, right.

In this picture, Carol wanders in Lake Walloon.

She plays with a boat, which is a typically masculine toy.

Here, Carol and Leicester dress up. She is dressed as a Native American woman, while he is a warrior. Even for leisure, the children were constrained to their genders.

 

Carol and Leicester, the youngest children, appear similarly like young girls. Again, Grace Hall had wanted twins.

Carol takes on the responsibility of a woman by looking after her brother Leicester.

Even though Carol and Leicester are playing, she has a maternal role.
