Saturday, December 12, 2020 @ 4:00pm
Presented by Kate J. Armstrong
producer, The Exploress podcast
When we think of life for women in the Victorian era, we think of big hoop skirts, high necklines, and a stringent moral code. But what was life like on the day to day: what did they eat? What did getting ready for the day look like? What did it actually feel like to be them? Join Kate Armstrong of The Exploress podcast as she goes time traveling back to explore a day in the life of a woman in Victorian era America. We'll talk about clothes, the household, bathing, etiquette, food, work, expectations, and so much more, ending with a life Q&A with the speaker!
