Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compilation of essays that humorously reflect on social norms, Victorian customs, and Victorian perceptions of gender roles. The author, a Victorian woman who adopts the pseudonym Angelina Gushington, writes as a well-educated but ditzy young woman, to better convey her observations of the social landscape of her time. She writes about croquet, music, and her perception of proper conduct for young women, all the while critiquing the societal expectations placed upon them. Angelina's fresh perspective forces a re-examination of gender roles, highlighting the social constraints and expectations placed on both women and men in the Victorian era. This book provides a valuable window into the social history of Victorian England, shedding light on gender roles, social norms, and the societal expectations of the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
