Kathryn Hughes explores the role of women in middle class Victorian society. Highlighting the conflicted and restrained behaviour expected of women between being learned but not too intelligent, beautiful but not sexual, Kathryn reveals the expectations on 19th-century women. She also explains how women such as Florence Nightingale and Elizabeth Barrett-Browning managed to challenge those expectations.

Had I been a Victorian girl, I would have become a bluestocking on purpose! Unfortunately, if I didn't marry, I'd have remained utterly dependent on parents, a brother, or an uncle for life. Spinsters were regarded as expensive burdens, and often treated poorly by loved ones. So sad, and such a waste of intellect and talent.

man up yo .. those women were highly educated with wealthy life or worker women .. they even got money(after a relevant dies ) and invested them .. or simply worked .. women are best suited in medical ,teaching , literature, art , clothes making and design ,house keepers , acting and singing .. and they work all that back then .. unless you are referring to anti men jobs such as cops soldiers politicians which they suck at as much as Angila miracle or Hillary .. or sex slaves jobs aka (Secretary ) .. or Kentucky operators which ironically if she leave it to jobless man he would be working and able to afford to marry her and form a family making her safe instead of her feeling unsafe thus obliged to work thus stealing another man job thus he can't afford marriage as he's unemployed .

@@ahmadawad3325 go away you ignorant and misogynist idiot. Women can be who ever they want to be and be good at it and certainly don't need men like you to tell them what they can and cannot do. Women work to be independant, to develop themselves and to contribute to society in general just like men do. Not to keep 'themselves safe' as you put it. And as women are entirely equal to men, they have a right to fully participate in society and therefore no woman is 'taking jobs' away from men. Also for the record, your knowledge of western society in past times is appallingly ignorant! Women could not work any of those jobs you mentioned if they belonged to a higher class and very few jobs were open to lower class women. Go educate yourself before spouting nonsense on the internet and while you are at it, learn to write English better. Otherwise stay away from a language not your own if you are sub-standard at it.

Has she ever worn a crinoline? There are several RU-vidrs who have/do, and they show how flexible they really were. (Prior Attire, Bernadette Banner, etc.) Karolina Zabrowski even got an authentic one, and just bent it back into shape easily. No, you wouldn't scrub the floors in them, but they weren't exactly "literal cages to keep women in their place" either.
@ilya8132
@ilya8132 5 месяцев назад
How would flexibility help in the cases she described? In the example of sitting on a train, were passengers supposed to deal with one person taking three seats or being squished up against another person's closing? Would you imagine pushing yourself through doorways to be proper during this time period?
@feezlfuzzl564
@feezlfuzzl564 5 месяцев назад
@@ilya8132 They had special traveling suits, so maybe they didn't wear them on trains. Crinolines were popular in the 1850's-1860's, so there may not have been as many railroads, either. As for doorways, what's the big deal with pushing yourself through, if you have to?

I love looking back to feminism in previous centuries. To see how extreme it was helps me understand the level it's at now, in both the ways I experience and see it. Even reading comments below which claim this lifestyle to be "best" gives perfect example of how long it takes for human ideals to truly evolve. The excuse "it was *this many* years ago" always fell flat for me. Human change takes time and there will always be plenty of people who want to hold on.

Marriage was not about love back then it was about climbing up the social ladder, obtaining wealth for the family and producing heirs to inherit the land. Women had it especially hard if they were stuck with a husband they didn't like because divorce was almost impossible. If I were born during that time I would never get married

Casual dress means casual attitude means social collapse into "me me me" self-indulgence. Victorians were not faultless (I'm sick of having to say that - we all know it but some wag will whine if we don't spell it out) but they understood the necessity of discipline. They also recognised that beauty is not the same thing as 'sexy'; the latter being about appetite, which is disruptive and self-indulgent, rather than about grace. As for learning, the emphasis was on becoming educated rather than on becoming a dry professional (which men had to do by necessity, someone had to, and which it was pointless for women to do also, as it defeminised them - and no healthy man is attracted to another who is masculine as its both sexually misguided and a recipe for constant argument). Maybe if people took their head out of radical bias for a while they might remember these things.
