Overview:

This fascinating book looks at everyday life for women in the nineteenth century, how they were expected to behave and what their futures might hold. In 1800 they couldn't be doctors, lawyers, or scientists. They couldn't even go to college. Why was this? Were women happy to let men run the country and rule their lives? Using pictures from around Europe, along with quotes from contemporary sources, the book contrasts society's ideal view of women with the reality of their lives. It also shows how some brave and strong-minded women challenged accepted ideas in a way that helped change society forever.
