Women in the Victorian society were treated and viewed differently from how they are treated now. A womens place was at home with the childern. The person with all the responseablities was the man.The man was seen as so much more than a women. Women that were wealthy were known to spend her time reading, sewing, receiving guests, going visiting, letter writing, seeing to the servants and dressing as her husband's social representative. The lower class women had to work and make a living.
During this time women really did not have a say in huge decisions as well, as always the husband had to do all the talking and pretty much had way more opportunities than the women. The women did not find this strange yet they knew they deserved more but that was just how society worked during this time. A positive note on this era was that women were treated like gold. Maybe, not in the whole your the boss type of thing but in a way that men respected them.They were known as a delicate flower that could break any moment which made the men respect their wifes and not hit them or be abusive towards them. Hopefully i can find a good husdand one day.
