Life+of+the+Women

The Life and Expectations of the Victorian Women The ability to speak French and Italian, sing, play an instrument, and dance were the talents that was expected of a young Victorian woman. The qualities she must contain are gentle, loving, pure, weak, and delicate. She could not comment on intellectual matters or smart comebacks. For most women in the Victorian Era their duties in life were to marry the suitable husband, raise children, make their children and husbands food and clothes ,and do the household chores. The higher class on the other hand did not make clothes, make dinner ,and perform household chores. They simply married wealthy men and raised children. Higher class women would also dance and entertain their guests while mingling and talking along with them. All women low or high class had no freedom. Women were forced to accept the life handed to them and live it with no argument. Arranged marriages, occupation decisions were very common in the life of the women.
