Introduction Around 1848 women in Victorian England were different throughout the various classes. Society and the economy had a great deal to do with how they dressed, behaved, and the present conceptions of Victorian women Many women supported themselves and their family with paying jobs, as well as already having the domestic life to return to. “Sexuality, intellect, and personal satisfaction were not emphasized.” (Beeton) “Feminine happiness was the result of faithful execution of domestic duties, making the good bourgeois wife an angel of the house.” (Beeton) http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/efae17089cf8b12fa582a201c08765919aae7cb3.jpg

UNDERCLASS/LOWERCLASS Lower than the lowest workers, many women resorted to prostitution to take care of themselves and their children. The struggling economy and low job availability left unskilled women to face poverty, illness, and disease on the streets, many of who were elderly as well. http://aljwhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/prostitute20.gif

seamstresses, mill workers -working on the farm, factories, and mines -wash clothing for upper classes and are servants -some would prepare and sell fish or make or repair nets http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iP2BwIvs-RA/S8kuTbdxxdI/AAAAAAAABtY/XKpsBN3njU0/s400/vintage-woman-sewing.jpg

MIDDLE Around the 1840’s women were becoming more and more responsible for themselves and their family. As a result, they began holding occupations including: tradeswomen, attorneys, hoteliers engineers, teachers (school mistresses, governesses). Female writers such as Charlotte Bronte challenged impressions of what is appropriate behavior for women, through creating a prominent heroine character in Jane Eyre (1847) https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQMFABVsPkVQ47g3Rhmg_adk_6EjbyvXXhdIAumi4lOiPaXlnN8
