Girls of the 19th century and modern young ladies are separated by two hundred years. There are many differences between them, but there are many points of contact. What can modern women learn from their peers of the previous era?
Nature and behavior
The basis of the human soul is a character that manifests itself in human behavior. What was it like among the girls of previous generations and what is known about their manners of behavior?
Femininity is a quality that every secular young lady simply had to possess. Now this is a rather rare trait among young girls. Sports that do not quite correspond to the girl's nature are widespread: women's wrestling, fencing, weightlifting, football. Who knows, maybe this is the plus for the fairer sex. For example, the ability and ability to defend themselves from attacks by intruders. But, as Coco Chanel said, women are not the weaker sex, the weaker sex are rotten boards. Girls are of the fair sex. So, their function is completely different, and not in the ability to fight, lift the bar and kick the ball.
Pride once manifested itself in all the actions of women: the ability to present oneself, gait, speech. But do not confuse this quality with arrogance: few people sincerely respect narcissistic people, and these women attracted themselves and received the proper attitude from society. Is this the case with today's female half of the population? Alas, many modern girls do not know what pride is.
The honor should have been possessed not only by valiant knights, but also by women. They had their own code of honor, which consisted of restraint, modesty, and chastity. For married ladies - in absolute allegiance to her husband. Violation of these laws led to shame, it was almost impossible to return a good name after such a desecration. And in modern society, this is considered as a maximum mistake. It has become the norm to frequently change partners.
Hobbies, lifestyle
There is nothing new to blame for the new generation. Then free time was spent on walks in the gardens, at balls and behind books, and now these classes have been replaced by trips to shopping and entertainment centers, discos and a fascination with new technologies. Modern girls have the opportunity to spend their leisure time as they want, and this is their advantage.
