otterdance's (Lynn Flewelling's) place today, talking about non-traditional relationships and steampunk:
NON-TRADITIONAL TRADITION
The Victorian era had a number of progressive moments. It introduced the ideas of compulsory education, child labor laws, women's suffrage, and divorce. But, quite rightly, it's also remembered as a time period of terrible restrictions. The poor were used and abused. Orphans were openly bought and sold in London. Women's clothing was designed to hinder their movements. The laws and customs regarding relationships were so strict, it's amazing anyone managed to brush hands, let along have children.
Go have a look-see!
