I followed a Scullery Maid Morning Routine *Victorian*

Thank you so much for watching my fourth Victorian-themed video. These have quickly become my favourite videos to research and make and I hope you enjoyed watching this one. As I say, it is so important not to romanticise the Victorian period (and I know that there is a danger in doing so in this video), but I hope it is acts as an accessible and interesting resource for learning more about the daily life of a Victorian Scullery Maid.

To research this video, I relied heavily on Ruth Goodman's wonderful book How to be a Victorian 📖

Let’s take a moment, as we should everyday, to thank the various waves of worker’s rights activists that have led to more fair wages and shorter work days. Employers will never give workers rights without pressure

I loooveee that she’s showing multiple sides of the story and not leaving out certain parts that are typically overlooked 🥺🥺

Netflix, if you are thinking about commissioning a Victorian drama, Ruby is your girl!

I would love to see a night routine for a scullery maid and upper class Victorian as well! This was such a great video and was really interesting

[bookkkworm]

It learnt so much. It's so painful to see how they spent their lives.

I hope this becomes a series because I'm enjoying myself a tad bit too much♥✨

You should do the difference between an upper class child and Lowe class child in the Victorian era. I loved this so much.

She’d only have bread for breakfast? I can’t imagine how tiresome that would be as it wouldn’t provide much energy and her day is strenuous as it is. Wasn’t aware she would have served the servants too. Makes you appreciate how far we’ve came (not ignoring what still needs to be done!)

You have the perfect house to film this video! It looks like it’s almost from a different time period with all the rustic touches😊

[KiraPepper]

Can i just say your house is an aesthetic dream. It is such a historical/ modern mix with some extremely beautiful features, like your windows!

[midnight-ish]

Victorian period is a joy to study but a nightmare to live in (by modern standarts)

[gloriazola]

When she's mopping I love how confused the dog is lol

[fiona]

I've always wondered how maids in particular would wake up in time (since there were no alarm clocks). I know you could pay someone to knock on your window and wake you, but what about those maids who worked in grand houses that might have not had access to a knocker? Love this video Ruby!! Super educational

I'd love to see a morning routine for a ladies' maid too! and night routines for all 3 - upper class woman, ladies maid and scullery maid

[shahrukhali]

Actually her eye color just pierces through your soul

I’m loving this series so much it so educational

[briannaesparza]

I’ve never seen window blinds like that. They’re doors!! So beautiful.

Make one on perhaps a day in the life of a Victorian bride! That would be cool! Or maybe something about how women sought out a future spouse depending on where their are from and their class.
