My grandmother was Victorian and I've often thought of all the changes she base in her lifetime. When she was born there were no phones apart from the very rich, no radio, no TV,only the very rare car, no fridges for the ordinary person, no electric indeed for the vast majority of the population, no planes. But there. Were telegrams so people could get news quickly if it was urgent, in towns at.least many deliveries of post, railways so you could go see relatives in the country, movies were just starting to be made. No NHS, no antibiotics, no one went anywhere near the moon . In her lifetime she flew in planes often to visit family overseas, phones were a lifeline, and she was grateful for modern medicine. I suspect had a lot of things people mention been around while she was still alive she'd have been surprised as indeed I was to be able to use a phone when out and about. I remember ringing someone from an onboard phone in a train once just because wow it was amazing. She managed to cope with movies turning into TV, radio, the phone, think she'd have managed with winder with modern stuff. The things I think she'd have found.mist surprising might have been things like most women choosing not to marry before having a baby, being openly gay, that sort of thing. But it was her generation who fought for the vote and suchlike, she worked on munitions during ww1, so knew women could work at lots of jobs that we don't normally think of Victorian women doing, but if course they did didn't they in mills and factories and even in mines.
