Ladies of Pemberley

  • Megan Ogden
'Ladies of Pemberley' set to explore the lives of women who actually lived in the homes that Austen imagines. During this project I learned about how women actually contributed to the household, in ways I never imagined:
"In Jane Austen's England, women were seen as unequal to men and treated poorly by the law. Despite the elevated men being seen as explorers, travelling across the world to add to their collections, women had their own role at home in running their husband's estates and in interior design. Through narrative, their contributions are suggested."
