A woman's place in the Victorian Era was at home

Domestically and motherhood were considered "sufficient emotional fulfilment"

Women were  kept out of society

They were expected to make and maintain "perfect haven" for their husbands.

Water had to be fetched and boiled in large basins. This was often a difficult task for women given their wardrobe.

Much of their day was spent making and mending clothing.

In this era, par excellence  (better or more than others, classy ego) was encouraged by Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria represented this 'femininity' through her motherhood and marriage.

Women were expected to be:

patient

frugal

upright

kept busy

have faith in God

punctual

not lazy, not allowed to leisure around

domestic

helpmeet

family first

Fashion was their only identity

It was constricting: this 'supported' proper posture and prevented physical activity

corsets: often caused women to faint giving them a weak image

large skirts

* Impressionism is a 19th century art movement
*Involves human perception and light brush strokes that emphasis the concept of light.
*A group of artists composed of Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and a few others organized the group.
*The exhibit marked the rebellion against the established artistic standards of the Academie des Beaux-Arts, considered the authority in the realist styles of French painting.
* Claude Monet (1st) - art should focus around texture, colors, and depth
*"I always understood," he continued, "though it was so strange--so pitiful. You wanted to look at life for yourself--but you were not allowed; you were punished for your wish. You were ground in the very mill of the conventional!"--Henry James
*James uses the setting to relate to the theme, characters to represent the conflicts, and different style techniques to get across the full meaning.
