The Reality of Victorian-Era Dating & Romance: Strict Rules & No Privacy | Boring History for Sleep

Описание: Drift off to this slow, soothing narration exploring the rigid, supervised world of Victorian courtship. From parlor visits under mother's watchful eyes, calling cards as "gatekeepers", secret signals through fans/gloves/hairpins, censored love letters, ballroom dances as coded tests, to the immense pressure on women's virginity as social currency – and how one misstep could end everything. Soft voice, detailed monotonous history designed to quiet your mind and ease you into deep, peaceful sleep.
