I love 19th Century women! Such sweet little muffins 😊! I vow to learn all about those lovely little women! May those lovely ladies rest in peace 🌹❤️

Thank so so much for this video! I want to write my bachelor thesis on the topic and I am curious where you read about all this. Do you have any recommendations? :)

Love your mourning attire!

I came here for regulus lore

Women didn't get the short end of the stick, just the way it was back then.

I'm putting together a Victorian inspired mourning ensemble because my friend just died and I need to express this in a healthier way than I have been.

Most of what you said is a feminist pipe dream, Mileva never even finished school, while albert finished top of his class ( so much for her being the math wizard and him being weak at math) . Also he released multiple papers after they got divorced INCLUDING the paper that actually gave him the Nobel price ( not the E=MC^2).

White is also a mourning color. Her Majesty’s own mother, the Dowager Queen, wore designs by the incomparable Sir Norman Bishop Hartnell on the passing of her own mother. Hartnell’s designs were white mourning in color. Upon her arrival in Paris she took the entire country by storm.

Does anyone else feel like we should bring back mourning etiquette to a certain extent? In our modern day, after a funeral you're just expected to get over it.

In the last part what you are referring to was called a "wake" and is now what we sometimes do the day or two before the persons funeral. But this was to ensure the person was indeed dead. This was also before embalming was in regular practice.

The price referenced for Manhattan Island is apocryphal, but a widely taught myth, so I don't blame someone for not knowing so.

The harp is still pictured on the emblem of Ireland, and it is on a navy blue background. (As I've seen it. Maybe there's more than one.)

Professional mourners date back to ancient Rome.

What an amazing lady! I wish you'd mentioned how the rise of the Third Reich may have affected her life.

You should have mentioned that phrenology is bunk and kind of racist. 😱

Super cool! Thanks for acknowledging the nuance and the fallibility of witness testimony.

7:34 You really diminish Annette by implying that she wanted to show off her body, when by all accounts all she wanted to do was swim without being weighed down by loads of wet fabric. She was a serious sportswoman and the only woman really doing what she was doing at the time.

Blackbeard is my favorite pirate. As a child, all I was taught was that he stormed ships with fruit and firecrackers burning in his beard, and he was generally portrayed as a villain in fiction. A few years ago I learned about the historical Blackbeard, and how he didn't allow any of his crew to rape women. I love him. He also had a wife and child in every port. 😂

2:47 I wouldn't want to be stuck on a ship with a bunch of men. That'd be so scary! 😱

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a charity for parents and families experiencing early infant death. One of the services they provide is volunteer photographers who will come to the hospital and take pictures of your infant. Culturally, stillborn children aren't considered to have ever been "alive," but parents can't just pretend they never existed. These photographs are supposed to bring healing and awareness.

good job

hey :) So, have you heard of the Thanatos Archive? It's a website (maybe it's just their FB page) that is all postmortem photos. Also, it's rad that you use historical clothes lol hope to see new vids soon 🤙

Hey, love your content, wish I could see both your eyes, is there something can be done about those blinds? TH-camr Stephanie Harlowe has had a similar problem and seems to have overcome it, you could maybe start there?

I'm just gonna say it, Einstein was a fuckboy, and Mileva deserved so much better. She was a scientific giant, if not an outright genius, and anyone who has studied classical electromagnetic theory will understand how amazing it is that Mileva more or less mastered the mathematical tools needed to understand Maxwell's equations when she was a teenage girl, maybe even before then if I'm remembering my biographical details clearly.

These Victorian's sound like a fun bunch of folks. I have seen some of the hair art and jewelry it is actually beautiful even more so because it was made from their loved ones hair, they would collect loved ones hair as they passed away and basically make family tree art with the hair.

Okay this is amazingggg I’ve just been browsing a few of ure videos they are all so good !! Noticed I’ve been gone for a while I hope ure doing well girl 💖💖

new sub here :) thanks !

Hi Thanks for this and hope you're still enjoying listening to Caroline Flashback. I'm afraid your video is a little lacking (perhaps you've learnt more about things already). A few interesting points; the photo you have of the Caroline ship is the Mi Amigo some time in the mid to late 70s (yes she returned in the early 70s) she was Caroline's second ship the 1st being the Caroline which sailed to the Isle of Man to air Caroline North after just a short while. Despite being towed in 68 the Mi Amigo was bought back and took to the air again, in the early 70s. She sank during a storm in the late 70s. As you know that wasn't the end they came back from another ship the Ross Revenge which lasted through much of the 80s. The ship has since been restored and is still sometimes used for broadcasting, but these days Caroline broadcasts legaly on low power AM, and the internet as well by other means. Whilst Caroline was the first pirate station to gain a major audience in the UK it was not the first pirate station, I don't even believe it was the first to broadcast to the UK. As you say in the 60s there were many other stations, in the 70s and 80s there were a few others. Oh and don't forget there have been offshore and landbased pirates coveing many other countries. All the best Phil

this topic isn't highlighted enough

ik I'm like... a year late to the party here but I'd just like to point out that in the photograph used as an example of "posed to look like they're alive" the man being photographed is, in fact, very much still alive (in the photograph, of course). the device you see being used to prop up his head was often used in victorian photography to help make sure the (living) subject remains as still as possible for the long exposure photograph because any amount of movement would result in blurriness in the final product.

I know hundreds of women who are still wearing bonnets like that regularly to attend church and family gatherings

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your video and learned a lot, too, I knew something about all this but didn' t know you could HIRE professional mourners! Love your black outfit, too! Congrats on a job well done!

Think the professional mourning would be a very easy job being paid to walk and cry and say oh I knew the dead very well

Great video about two inspirational ladies! As for the mystery not factual history...that happens! Things don’t always turn out as they seem but that can be for the good, as seen here 😊 keep it up!

The dead is super heavy to be in a pose so I don’t they use those devices to make them stand up. Since it took a long time for a photo to shoot. People use those devices to stay still for the photo.

I really hope this does no come across as rude, but a lot of the information in this video is not accurate. The maternity corset was used to support the bust, as usual, the back, and weight of the belly, just like modern belly bands. Society ladies were not forced to stay indoors and shamed for having a child. The time spent in isolation was 1, to protect the mother and child from disease, and 2, to allow her more freedom in dress (e.g. the historical version of sweatpants and a tank top) and activities in the last (and generally most difficult) months of pregnancy and after birth to recover. The muscles of the torso can become dependent on a corset if worn for many years, but the body can return to a normal state of being within days. Women would leave off their corsets when ill, or just after giving birth, sometimes for months after with no ill effects. The point you made about corsets essentially being used for abortions is flatly not true. If corsets caused miscarriage, then very few fetuses from the times stays became part of everyday wear in the 1500's to the 1970's when girdles went out of fashion would have survived. On the last point, after giving birth, the uterus takes a long time to return to it's normal size, and the abdominal muscles can actually split down the center. The use of "waist training" as you called it in history and in modern time can not only help reduce time spent in recovery, and help the aforementioned splitting of stomach tissue. I want to state again, I am not writing this to be mean, make you feel bad, or anything like that. I'm a dress historian, and I understand why all of the things you listed may seem true. Most misconceptions about corsets, including them being used for abortion, the dependency of the body on corsets, and overall them being unhealthy were started by men. The point was to shame women for being vain and frivolous, even though that would be like some dudebro today telling a woman she's a whore for wearing a sports bra and medical belly band after a c-section. Men back then were very loud in their distaste of women, and anything associated with them.

id love to know where you got you dress and if that shop has dresses for around 1900s? thanks so much!!!

It’s covid 19 the kardashians now are worthless!! No concert no movies going back to victorian Era....

This video fails to state that women wore corsets, and their predecessors stays, as bra alternatives. Women have always needed boulder holders, even before they were worn over the shoulders. Tightlacing was for the fashionable society, but more common were fairly flexible options.

why were they used to death?

I was wondering if you have ever been pregnant? Thank you for your time

i luv this yt chanel its rlly cool to see someone also has a love for history :D

Very interesting story 😍😍😗😘

Loved this video. 🙌

Suggestion. Film in a room with better sound proofing, we can only hear you clearly on highest volume, (tried multiple devices, even put you on big screen in our projection room). Otherwise, love the content, keep up the good work. Also, show pix of what you describe.

this helped with my textiles exam thankyou xxx

Lovely video, I learned some stuff today. And I’m glad I stayed until the bloopers at the end, haha xD

Yay a video!

watched the pirate radio video on Amazon early this week, strange concept

Yes girlll! Love you :)
