Learn about Victorian era motherhood
Description
Back by popular demand, historian Kathy Wilson will speak at the Decorah Public Library on Tuesday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. Wilson’s talk “Mothers of the Milky Way” addresses the lives of Victorian era women. Were Victorian women really as clueless about intimacy when they married as we’ve been told? What did they know about pregnancy before it happened? Learn the answers to these questions and others in a fascinating look at pregnancy, childbirth, and childhood in the 19th century.
