I'd like to know who are your favorite Victorian Authors.
Did you know that in those days woman who read were considered silly by some? It was just useless information for a woman to do so.
What other little trivia can you come up with?

Well?
Did you know that the pale-er you were the higher peoples respected you? Or that showing your ankles was slutty?

@ Willow: The pale thing made you more respected cause it meant something along the lines of "I'm of good breeding, I don't have to work in the sun, etc."
(forgot where I read this) And on buses there were little boxes for where you put your feet, it was so that when you sat down and your skirt lifted a little that no one could see your ankles.

That's where the term "blue blood" came from, meaning an aristocrat. So pale that you can see their veins, blue beneath their skin.
