I loved the content and entertaining writing style that explored the not-so-glamourous side of being a woman in the Victorian era. I love this kinds of social-historical research, so this was right up my alley. My biggest complaint was that the author doesn't footnote anything and there were only witty, made up captions on all of the photos and illustrations, rather than what they were actually of or from. Overall it was an entertaining and informative read.
