Modern Victorian Woman

The woman I chose is my step-mom, Heather Gassner. She is very clean cut and normal by the standards of society. Heather has medium length brown/blonde hair and a pretty white smile with straight teeth. She wears very light make-up and modest clothing. Heather shows her “Victorian ways” by her modest dress and polite attitude.
Her job and mission in life is to make sure her family is well taken care of and provided for. She loves her family and will do whatever she needs to in order to make sure they have everything they need. Heather is a stay at home mom, which adds to her Victorian lifestyle even more since Victorian women were expected to stay home and tend to the house and kids all day.
I think Heather would fit in well with Victorian society in some ways and better in today’s society in others.

However, she wouldn’t fit in with the Victorians in different aspects because Victorian women were expected to believe and have the same opinions that of her husband and Heather doesn’t always agree with the things her husband says and she isn’t afraid to admit it. That would not go over very well in Victorian society.
The only way it seems that Heather doesn’t fall perfectly in the Victorian category is by her opinions and beliefs and also her size. Victorian women, as I’ve previously stated, were expected to have the same thoughts, opinions, and beliefs as her husband.
