@paulinepark.bsky.social#ElizabethGaskell was born #OnThisDay in 1810, becoming a novelist & short story writer with a sharp proto-feminist critique of gender & class in #Victorian #England in novels such as #Cranford; she certainly understood the need for a woman's independence from men~!

@manc68.bsky.socialGood morning from a former Olympic Borough ( #Newham).
Much is written about my borough in local and national press often in negative terms. I have lived here for well over 39 yrs. It’s a borough that has inherited wonderful stock of #Victorian houses but suffers from being in the #Eastend.

@emory-f8.bsky.socialShe behaved in ways that were recognizable among aggressive male financiers but challenged expectations surrounding wealthy women.
She negotiated directly with bankers, protected her property from her husband, and refused to make fashionable society the center of her life.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialContemporary journalism frequently treated her as a spectacle, and sensational stories about America's enormously wealthy but supposedly miserly “witch” sold newspapers.
There was also an unmistakable gender dimension to her public image.
@emory-f8.bsky.socialShe was famous for dressing plainly and later became particularly associated with black clothing.
After her husband's death, her continued use of black mourning clothes and a black veil further strengthened the witchlike image that newspapers had already created around her.
