Women of the upper and middle classes were especially preoccupied withthe variety and complexity of dress, which showed their status and position

The removal of one or two ribs to keep your waistline small enough for yourhusband to fit his hands around you was done.

For both married and single women, charity and reform work was popular.

Beating one's wife or wives was acceptable and legal throughout recordedhistory until the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe and

 America.

 All in all, women had no right during this time period. For more than half ofthe era, they could do nothing about it.

It is not until later in the century, that the ideas listed above started tobecome challenged.

Celebrations

The way we celebrate Christmas in today’s world is largelyinfluenced by the 19th century Victorian Age.

In 1848, after the queen’s marriage to a German-born

prince, an illustration of the royal family having a dinner by

a heavily decorated Christmas tree started circulating in apublication.

The ideas of Christmas cards, candy selling (the special

wrappers), and gift giving (previously on New Years) all

grew and expanded during this time.
