Victorian era
Women classes
Lower class
The lower class women were not treated very
fairly. It wasvery likely for unmarried women to
be classified as a pauper. After having a father
or a husband die, barely any money or land was
left in the will to the daughter or wife; it was
mostly given to the oldest son or another close
male relative.
Other jobs for the lower class women were
barmaids, chambermaids, waitresses, and
workers in factories.
Working in factories was better than working
in the domestic service business.
Women classes
Middle class
Middle class women can almost be
considered guides to the lowerclass
women.
During
their
free
time,
theywent and helped the paupers.
The goal of these middle class women
was to marry into a wealthy relationship.
This allowed the women to get more
respect from the upper class society and
get more goods.
Women classes
Upper class
Wealthy women in society did not
have a very difficult life. Their day
consisted of activities like sewing,
visiting
family/friends/paupers,
reading, writing letters, entertaining
visitors, and dancing.
