Mistress of the manor: Lady of leisure or Full time working mom? — 12 Comments

  1. What a fantastic article! I always knew there was more to managing a household than met the eye, but I didn’t realize there was so much to do! Sharing on my blog 😀

  2. Lovely post. It is so nice to see a less than superficial account of how the mistress of the manor spent her time.

  3. Amazing and informative. I will read my regency novels with a whole new respect for these ladies of leisure.
    Thank you for all the research

  4. Succinct, compelling and well researched. Great work. Have you come across any cases where especially skilled or efficient staff were pooled between neighboring estates to alleviate finding good help?

  6. Thank you! I recently did a blog something like this, but was limited as to my word count. I’m doing another one later. Interestingly, about the time the blog went up, someone reviews my second book and said she had trouble believing that my heroine, 21 years old, who’d been running the house for a couple of years could have so many domestic accomplishments at such a young age. Bosh.

    Tweeted and shared on FB.
