The Map of a Woman's Heart and the Map of a Man's Heart

During the Victorian Era, allegorical maps of human conditions and experiences were a trend. Two examples of such maps are The Open Country of a Woman's Heart and The Fortified Country of a Man's Heart. These two maps reflect society's gendered views of women and men of the time. Stereotypes and expectations inform the design. The Man's Heart is structured with a guarded wall, a complete contrast to The Woman's Heart and its openness. Comparatively, it could be argued The Woman's Heart is more visually confusing or overwhelming based on the organization and structure of its colored regions. The Woman's Heart map presents women simple-mindedly with shallow interests. The Man's Heart map presents men as less self-centered and more ambitious.
