Family, Love, And Work In The Lives Of Victorian Gentlewomen

Physically frail, badly educated girls, brought up to lead useless lives as idle gentlewomen, married to dominant husbands, and relegated to 'separate spheres' of life - these phrases have often been used to describe Victorian upper-middle-class women. This book examines the scope and quality of gentlewomen's education, and their physical lives.
