Charles Bray's 1880 tome on phrenology How to Educate the Feelings or Affections: and bring the dispositions, aspirations, and passions into harmony with sound intelligence and morality includes various images of the different people's whose head shape is said to espouse certain dispositions. 

Of the many emotions and characteristics discussed such as benevolence, secrecy, and hope, only one is assigned to the image of a woman: adhesiveness, or friendship. Her name is Anna C.M. Ritchie.
