Before Victoria -- NYPL
http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/victoria/
During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, life for women in Britain was much different in many regards than in the present day. Women could not join the professions, and married women had no rights to property. By the time of Queen Victoria, women's lives had become even more transformed, and this change produced new feminine roles and also produced a clutch of great poets, novelists, and actresses. This online digital exhibit, which complements an in situ installation, from the New York Public Library contains seven brief topical essays, along with a nice selection of images that afford additional insights. One such essay is the one titled "Fables for the Female Sex", which addresses the explicit moral direction handed down to women through visual culture, literature, and conduct books during this period. For those who find this topic compelling, the site also has a fine list of additional readings. [KMG] |
