And, authors and readers refer to it as the Victorian era even though the story takes place in the United States. Same with stories set in 1900-1920s being called Edwardian, especially the clothing styles. So, hey, what is the United States? Chopped liver? It annoys me when Amazon or CreateSpace asks me to designate my category, and the option is Victorian instead of Western.Zina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-84720135839787903142016-02-09T17:19:58.633-08:002016-02-09T17:19:58.633-08:00Just caught up with this post--great photos and in...Just caught up with this post--great photos and information!Lynn Lovegreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381497298898067525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-88462633138439538292016-02-08T21:00:45.395-08:002016-02-08T21:00:45.395-08:00Great article, Zina.

Although customs varied a lot from America to England, there were many social movements that were parallel, as well as moral values. Fun to imagine life in the 1800's.

In the other states the vote was granted by legislative action. And, what the legislature composed of men may grant, it may also take away. Case in point--Wyoming at first gave women the right to serve as justices and on juries. Many husbands complained of the personal inconvenience to themselves by being left with children to take care of and meals to prepare when their wives served on juries. Then there was the cost of providing accommodations for female jurors separate from male jurors. The legislature took that right away from women, but let them retain the right to vote.Zina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-42677869363695389772016-02-08T15:55:19.506-08:002016-02-08T15:55:19.506-08:00Colorado was the first state to constitutionally g...Colorado was the first state to constitutionally give women the right to vote in 1893. We are proud of that. Of course Colorado Springs was known as "Little London" due to the large English population and money funneled into the economy.<br /><br />I loved your trips through the eras. It was a great read. Thank you. Doris/AngelaRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.com
