Unmentionable

The book sheds light on norms women were expected to follow—I'm curious what motivated the author to explore this particular aspect of history.

Some of the customs felt absurdly strict, but also revealing of societal fears. I wonder how others reacted to these contrasts.

It’s fascinating to see echoes of Victorian etiquette today. Did the author intend to show how far we've come or how much remains the same?
