Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intricate relationships among women in Victorian England, this book reveals how they celebrated their bonds through jewelry made from hair and poetry, while also engaging in same-sex partnerships. These unions, often viewed as unconventional, were surprisingly accepted by society and influenced by consumer culture. The narrative highlights how these women enjoyed their desires and played a pivotal role in shaping ideals of love and marriage, impacting social reform and challenging the notion of women as mere reflections of male desires.
