these working-class videos are my favourite by far. there's so much on youtube about upper-class fashion but these windows into the lives of working women is just amazing, this one and the 14th century one and the volunteer nurse one all all my favourites.

I'm very thankful to the brave women who fought for our rights. This fight still continues in parts of the world today and I feel lucky for the rights I enjoy, thanks to those who fought for women's suffrage.

Idk why, but l just love the idea of a bunch of edwardian woman learning jiu jitsu.

[rafaguelfand]

Jujitsu edwardian sufragettes sounds like a name of a riot grrrl punk band

I love how they showed the actual corset style instead of modern influence of it. No tight pulling on the strings, no extremely dangerous boning, no unrealistic hourglass shape. Just a normal straight corset fitted to the natural torso🖤

Why can't we have blouses with ties today?!? Ugh. It'd make my life easier

[terrfomp]

“And they had deep pockets”
Okay, you don’t have to rub it in 😆

[berkleypearl]

We’re marching shoulder to shoulder into the fray! Our daughters’ daughters will adore us and they’ll sing in grateful chorus ‘Well done, sister suffragette’!

[ungodlysponge]

I’d like a tutorial on how to do those hairstyles!

[mishabear]

i love how they wanted to make sure that you can be feminine and still be strong with a voice, with the white shirt waist and delicate details in the clothing

[mandyhull]

Really admire these brave and strong women who risked prison or worse.

My heart skipped a beat when she put on corset before lacing her shoes

[pooppoo]

"She then dons her hand knitted cardigan. :)
A small hammer, perfect for breaking windows, goes into her pocket :)
Then, she puts on her delicate white gloves. :) "

We must always remember these women, to whom we owe all our rights.

the dainty feminine hat pin turned self defense knife is literally my favorite thing to ever happen in history

edit: spelling mistakes whoops

[Lucy-fnrj]

suffragettes: we don’t want to seem militant
also suffragettes: *learn jujitsu, carry two different weapons at all times*

[fionatanzer]

We still owe so much to these our ancestors. Such brave women. We cannot fully appreciate their bravery in going against everything that they had learned about the accepted role of women in society for many hundreds of years.
Never let anyone erode the rights of women!

Why does this outfit seem so much more comfortable and cute than women's clothing today? It seems like today you have to choose to be either comfortable or cute but back then they had long feminine skirts with big pockets and low heeled boots and thick cardigans. It's pretty but practical too

[rolandoberbon]

do you guys remember that movie, Mary poppins. that scene when mrs banks is singing about woman suffrage.

A fascinating time for history. Your handling was so respectful and informative. I truly enjoy every episode you all produce.
