Back To Nature: Marie Antionette And The Cottagecore Fantasy, Rose Caughie

Artists’ Expression Of Women’S Unresolvable Internal Conflict, Diedre Miles-Girod
Senior Theses
The Victorian period (1837 to 1901) was a time of great change in the United States. The country was growing with the Louisiana Purchase and the addition of several states to the Union. Railroads were connecting together the vast lands. Unprecedented economic and manufacturing changes were unfolding; it was the time of the Industrial Revolution. This period also brought about a revolution for women by opening up new possibilities in many spheres of life. However, these new possibilities, ironically, exacerbated a timeless women’s struggle of finding balance between their traditional roles as caregivers and their human need for self-‐ expression. …
