Victorian Women I: Life in the Cocoon

Victorian women of the upper classes were idealized as wives and mothers, but sheltered from the real world in the cocoon of their homes by Victorian men. Learn the reasons for this and its advantages and disadvantages. The clothing of the Victorian women reflected their roles and was also a cocoon.

Learn how clothing evolved to suit an evolving lifestyle. This program is richly illustrated.
