Extractions: Costume Shop A Woman's Place in C19 th Victorian History By Pauline Weston Thomas for Fashion-Era.com The Victorian era seems like another world to us. Yet the late Victorians were very familiar with many of the things we use everyday. The one thing that was different was the place of women in society. There were of course perceptive women of independent original thought, but for the huge majority life was easier if they accepted that a woman's place was in the home. To lump all women of the Victorian era as one body would be wrong. The era spanned 64 years and changes in attitudes were gradually shifting as the century closed. Above in the heading we see a picture of the young Queen Victoria at 18. If you look at her in the top page of the

Extractions: access keys contact us help You are here: Undergraduate Postgraduate Order a prospectus Find a course unit History has been taught at Manchester at degree level since the Victorian era, and we are justly proud of our record of developing the way the subject is taught, for example pioneering economic history, or introducing the undergraduate thesis, which has since been copied by universities around the world. Today, History has around thirty academic staff, and further draws on the ancient history staff in the School, thus making Manchester one of the largest centres for history in the country. The scholarship of the staff is of international standing, as confirmed by the award of the highly sought-after category of '5' by the government in 2001. Our undergraduate programmes take maximum advantage of the full range of their expertise, which spreads across diverse regions of the world and many different histories, ranging from the classical era (Greece and Rome) through the world of Chaucer to the late twentieth century, and encompasing such specialisms as, for example, gender or cultural history, and colonial or post-colonial history. We can also offer various forms of financial assistance to our students. Apart from the University's hardship fund, History is able (thanks to the generosity of one of its graduates) to offer some support to students who get into financial difficulty. In addition, we invite students to apply for travel bursaries: in recent years these have enabled students to visit India, Ghana, Vietnam, Israel, South Africa and Central America. Finally, the School awards several prizes and scholarships to outstanding students. For postgraduate students, there are bursaries available at both MA and PhD levels.

Extractions: Victoria and Albert (4 Parts) Queen Victoria reigned over the British Empire for nearly sixty-four years, returning dignity and popularity to the British crown. Victoria assumed the crown in 1837, an inexperienced and seemingly unqualified girl of eighteen. For most of her life, Victoria had been controlled by her mother, with whom her relationship was very strained. Victoria married her cousin, Prince Albert of Germany, and quickly grew deeply devoted to him. Following the ouster of her first prime minister, Lord Melville, Victoria also became heavily dependent upon Albert as an advisor. The Queen often referred to her husband as king in everything but name. This story of Victoria and Alberts life together traces their evolving relationship within the context of a modernizing British civilization. CURRICULUM LINKS Victoria and Albert is suitable for high school students in European history and literature classes. NATIONAL STANDARDS Victoria and Albert fulfills the following National Standards for World History for grades 512: Historical Thinking Standards 1 (Chronological Thinking), 2 (Historical Comprehension), and 3 (Historical Analysis and Interpretation) for Era 7, Standards 2 and 4. Regarding Discussion Questions to follow: Vocabulary Discussion Questions Opening scene (about 00:00 to 02:30): On the basis of this scene, what do you imagine the relationship between Victoria and Albert to be? What kind of person do you think Victoria is? Explain your answers, using specific details, actions, and words from the film to support your position.

Their accomplishments and contributions in science, technology, medicine, and education are largely unknown. Their collective stories in this first of a series of books will present a picture of America in the early 1900s, when the great majority of Chinese Americans were challenged to rise above obstacles in most professions and businesses. Biography: The Chinese Historical Society of Southern California was created to discover and recognize our pioneers and their history. It aims to increase awareness of Chinese American heritage through public programs, education and research. Since 1975, its mission has been to bring together people with a mutual interest in the important history and historical role of Chinese and Chinese Americans in Southern California, to pursue, preserve and communicate knowledge of this history, and to promote the heritage of the Chinese and Chinese American community in support of a better appreciation of our rich, multi-cultural society.
