Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of Victorian high society women and the evolving roles they inhabited within their wealthy, insular world. It is through the lens of Louisa Howm, the only daughter of Lord Nâ"â", and her journey through girlhood, coming of age, and marriage that the author dissects the lives of women whose lives were as lavish as their surrounding world. The author delves into the restrictive and often vapid lives of these women, at the whim of society's expectations, shallow familial relationships, the vanity and obsession with keeping up an unattainable standard of wealth, and the persistent threat of financial ruin should investments fail to pay off. Although set in the Victorian era, this book is a cautionary tale of excess, financial imprudence and societal expectations that remain relevant for women and families of great wealth today.
