History Forum / General / General Topics / January 2005"From Hell" authenticity questions
In the movie "From Hell," prostitutes are referred to as "unfortunates." Was this in fact the term that would have been used for them in Victorian England? Also, one woman repeatedly makes passes at other women. I know that England had no law against lesbianism because Queen Victoria was sure it didn't exist. How likely was it that a woman would have blatantly made advances to another woman? Thanks to anyone who responds. > In the movie "From Hell," prostitutes are referred to as "unfortunates." Was > this in fact the term that would have been used for them in Victorian England? The simple answer to that is: yes, they were. |
