[Janelle Bogart · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you wanted to be reminded how terrible it was to be a woman in the 1800s this book will be a stark example of how far our sex has come. From outwardly admitting that women are inferior to men to claiming that every mistake is a woman’s fault, the book was as infuriating as it was informational. Ellis gives her modern day readers a real life glimpse into the day to day responsibilities a young girl in England would experience and share insights into the rules of society while also warning of its fickle behavior. It was a great read for my thesis.
