I love The Duchess, such a great film, Keira Knightley always acts beautifully in period dramas. I love the whole Victorian era, the dress, the etiquette, the whole notion of society. Although I am glad that I live in the 21st century, I hate that woman were inferior in society and that the only way to improve your life was to marry.
Georgina Cavendish was a lady ahead of her times, she was an active political campaigner in a time when woman's suffrage was still over a century away. Her fashion was extravagant and grand, she was one of the first to sport this oversized large hat which became remarkably fashionable. She was a woman who was conformed to the strains of society, trapped in her home and married to a husband who she didn't love. But she did it all for the love of her children.
