The way all the women's activities are presented as boring and/or useless is really bothering me. A lot of the things they could do (painting, needlework, dying and making clothes, playing an instrument, singing) are creative work and require a lot of concentration and imagination. It's nothing to scoff at. Also, at the time, these were useful skills to have. You couldn't just play music, you needed to have someone there to play instruments and sing. Clothes and furniture weren't bought new constantly, they were often repaired or altered, which is where craft skills come in useful. It just feels like the show really tried to downplay women's accomplishments in this era, which is pretty ironic considering they keep mentioning how unfairly women were treated.

Thank you SO much for sharing this brilliant and fun show. I cannot believe that anyone would whimp out on the show....like the army captain did.....it is a learning experience. LOL. Peace! :0)
it's funny because science now says the complete opposite(there are some obvious things women should avoid but to be completely inactive beyond walking? ugh...) not to mention the doctors of the regency period didn't seem to observe the working class women who had little choice in the matter. to be honest as bad as modern times seem to be I am actually very happy to be alive now rather than then JUST because childbirth was often fatal.

These girls you can tell all read modern era romance done up as regency. Many folks including many of those writers never realized how restrictive it was for females. Especially for maidens. Who had a much stricter Code of Behavior to stick to than today's females have.

@teufelstaub I know it's almost a century later, but there are 'real' people as servants in The 1900 House. You really see their perspective (scrub scrub scrub from dawn til midnight), plus all the rubbish they have to put up with from the snobby, unsympathetic family playing lords and ladies of the manor!

I'm sorry, but it seems this series was focused on making women's lives in the past appear crap for the sake of acting superior about 21st c life, & I'm not wearing rose-coloured glasses, here- but it should be slightly more realistic- they weren't just sitting around doing *nothing* for hours & days on end, that's ridiculous. Women prided themselves on their skills & accomplishments- have these people *never* read a Regency-era novel, or watched a Regency-set movie? Women & girls learned handicrafts & the arts, they sketched or painted (silhouette-making also came in around this time, I believe, as a cheaper alternative to paintings; all you needed was black paper or velvet/ silk if you could afford, a light, a pencil & white paper), women practiced music, languages, dancing- they dyed ribbons (a scene in the famous Pride & Prejudice mini-series), trimmed hats, made clothes & various accessories like wraps & purses - they took walks, they went to shop at the nearest village. There was embroidery, reading, letter-writing; either the producers elected not to put these activities in- which is stupid, or the women had the option & got 'bored' with them- in which case, they only have themselves to blame. I also wonder why did they not show the 'poorer' women among the guests trying their hand at tasks in the Stillroom; one of the *most fascinating* parts of manor houses? It might have opened their eyes, but no, they choose to make it look as miserable as possible.
