Throughout my search in Lee Jackson’s “The Victorian Dictionary” i found quite a few things that interested me. Some of those following topics would be but are not limited to the food and diet portion, the childhood life, crime rate and activity, the type of disease that were present, and my favorite the actual people of the Victorian age. Since I am only limited to one topic in my blog post this evening, i am going to make it about the lifestyles of the Victorian Age, including how men and women were treated differently and what their  roles were in the society.

Where do i even  begin in the Victorian age, well women were set for one job, to be a mother and to take care of the beloved ones of the house hold. yet, why were women not allowed to do a mans job. its not like we are unable to do those said actions that only a “man can do”. as quoted in the article under the women category in the Victorian Dictionary “t is quite fair to argue that, if Women are to have their rights of citizenship, they must accept their duties, and that the acquisition of the elective franchise ought to he accompanied by the condition of liability to serve on juries, and to act in other capacities heretofore solely masculine.” It is quite apparent that women are not :made: to do a mans job, but if thy were to do a mans job they have to accept any repercussions, such as getting injuries or even sick from all the manual work, that they are not used to doing.

The diary in this link http://www.victorianlondon.org/index-2012.htm has made me realize that growing up in the Victorian age a a women would be difficult but you have to accept the fact that women are as strong or better yet strong and can handle the same amount of work, it is just how you set your mind to it, to see how far you will get.
