From never-ending list of tasks and duties to possibly being mistreated, domestic service in the Victorian era sounds like absolute hell. And yet, for many women, it was a dream job. Today we’re reading “Instructions in household matters: or, The young girl's guide to domestic service” from 1845, which details how to best prepare for that sort of work.
Also, welcome to season 3 of Textory The Podcast! Announcement time – future episodes of the podcast will be uploaded on a separate Youtube channel rather than on my channel, so if you’ve been following the podcast there, make sure to subscribe the new channel to stay up to date with new episodes! You’ll find it here: https://www.youtube.com/@TextoryThePodcast
