"Raise the palm"
Posted by Jeanne Bornstein on December 27, 2000
I would like to find out the derivation and meaning of "raise the palm", which I ran across in a 19th-century text. The context was that a certain behavior would cause a young woman to "raise the palm."
Thanks in advance for any information.
