We take a VERY deep dive into women's magazines of the nineteenth century to discover what motherhood ideals were presented in short stories, verbose poems, and cautionary tales! And what top tips magazines gave out to women and mothers on how to behave, how to chastise children, how to manage the household, and all manner of how-tos! A reeling long list of how to be the Perfect Mother, you can see some of the roots with influencer culture today.

In this month's episodes we're looking at Mother's Day in the 19th century. We talk about its very long history, its roots with Mother Church, what role mother's had in society, and our favourite mothers in Victorian literature! And best of all - this is only part one! This month, Hayley and I were snowed in, so we did a two-part series, and we had enough time over to bake a simnel cake, which you can find in our Let's Bake! playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5xB7uirZodt9CLvi3NgplEVUDQkuVgXk

Welcome to our very first, full length episode! Today we're exploring What Women Want in that mixed space between the modern phenomenon of Galantines' Day and Valentine's Day. Uploaded on February 13, Galantine's Day, we wanted to celebrate women, women's writing, and talk about all the dreams and desires that women have in literature of the nineteenth century.

We talk about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Gaskell's (very under-rated!) Sylvia's Lovers, and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, and the many adaptations that women's literature have enjoyed in he C21st and how it speaks to modern audiences!
