Gender and Sexuality


 

Victorian texts added to this page might include non-fiction pieces, cartoons, or illustrations that focus on gender norms, fallen women, sexuality, legal status of women...and so on. If you think that the texts you add might usefully be cross-listed on other pages (such as the Art, Domesticity, or Laws pages), please feel free to create a title link to your page in multiple categories.

 

To make this process easier, the Directions for Adding Pages to this site will open in a second window of your browser.  In brief, you will have to both create the page and properly archive it so that you, your teacher, your peers, and others who come to use this site, can locate it again.  Please follow the directions carefully.
