Victorian Life:
The Victorian Family

Home > Victorian Life > The Victorian Family

Our Belongings: The Boys (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1892)
"What queer creatures they are, with their extraordinary reticences, their remarkable frankness, their strange ideas of fun, their code of honour, the peculiarities of their tempers, and the varieties of their dispositions."

Our Belongings: The Girls (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1892)
On the many types of girls: The heedless girl, the beauty, the girl-genius (bound for Girton!), the girl with a sense of humour, the domestic girl, the placid girl, the girl with imagination, and more...

The Wife of Your Minister, by A.J. Parry (Ladies' Home Journal, 1892)
The workload of the minister's wife.

The Wives of Doctors (Ladies' Home Journal, 1892)
Some "do's and don'ts" of being a doctor’s wife.

Our Belongings: The Little Ones (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1893)

Our Belongings: The Fathers (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1895)
"The attitude the lord and master chooses to take, the line it pleases him to walk in, his likes and dislikes, his wishes, whims, fads and fancies, and his will, dominate the homes of nine-tenths of English people."

Our Belongings: The Mothers (Cassell's Family Magazine, 1895)
"An admirable race we hold them--much-enduring, tactful, loving, unselfish, with busy lives, and often aching hearts, but happy because sure of the niche in life that belongs to them."

Our Brothers and Sisters (Girl's Own Paper, 1901)
Since boys don't read girls' magazines, "There is no use my writing here, 'My dear fellows, what are you thinking about in letting your sisters fetch and carry for you like that, and expecting them always to give in to your will and pleasure?'"

Our Husbands (Girl's Own Paper, 1901)
