Purchase This Victorian Life
Tonight, Kristin talks with Sarah A. Chrisman about her new book, This Victorian Life, where she recounts what it's like to explore nineteenth-century culture and technologies from the inside out, living with her husband as they would have in the 1800s. Tonight, Kristin and Sarah discuss life in the Victorian era, feminism, and what one technology Sarah would bring into the twenty first-century if she could.
