As for men versus women, well, everyone knew that men and women had different roles in life portrait photographer. Men were put here to achieve, women to serve portrait photographer. This view was best stated by the poet Coventry Patmore. In 1854 he published
The Angel in the House,
a poem about his wife Emily, whom he saw as the perfect Victorian wife. The Angel in the House was extremely popular and came to define Victorian womanhood. Here is an excerpt.
Man must be pleased; but him to please
Is woman’s pleasure; down the gulf
Of his condoled necessities
She casts her best, she flings herself.
How often flings for nought, and yokes
Her heart to an icicle or whim,
Whose each impatient word provokes
Another, not from her, but him;
While she, too gentle even to force
His penitence by kind replies,
Waits by, expecting his remorse,
With pardon in her pitying eyes.
Women were long-suffering heroines.
