Resercher
I'm reserching the limited rights of married women in the Victorian Era. They had the same rights as children. The huband's job was to protect is wife and his wife was supposed to obey him. The wife's income goes directly to the husband and the custody of the children belonged to him as well. The girls in this book are trained to be "ideal" wives in this book at Spence Academy. hey are told to act proper of they ever want a nice husband to take care of them.

What are you researching here?
ReplyDeleteZoe, once again I feel as though you can go a little more in depth with your post. You can link the Victorian Era to our time period to show the differences and similarities to our time period. But also I can understand that the girls at Spence Academy are basically trained to be this "ideal" wife.
ReplyDeleteI think that the married rights of women in the Victorian Era is a good idea on a topic to research. As described in the book, the way people met and got married is very strict and different to the modern ways we are used too. I wish you gave a link to the website you were looking at so I could have learned about it more.
