#MyTCdiscovery R. Peel "saw a boy pass that had his foot cut off by a carr on the rail road while playing ball instead of going to school"

@AldenBrien @JacobABlackwell Yes. I want more Enola!

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@KristenStieffel It's the Victorian era. Boys would have been sent to boarding school to learn to be men. Their mothers had little to do with their education and upbringing.

@PhdRachel Bicycling was a huge craze for women. It allowed them freedom of movement they never had before. Susan B. Anthony was a fan. https://t.co/2QDh2zuJXJ

@nellstra Britain WAS the world! The sun never set on the British Empire.

@huntinghistory She's ahead of her time. Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union in 1903. Deeds not words. Smashing windows, destroying art, bombing an MP's home, practicing jiu-jitsu for self-defense. Is Eudoria a time traveler from the future?

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@huntinghistory Way too much but it needs to be enough to convince a boy to take a girl's dress. I would have just offered money to take his clothes.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@erin_bartram It did. In the beginning when Enola shared her life story.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@5thBorderState Also, murder of a peer is a hanging offense I believe.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@5thBorderState @rinnymarie My mom was horrified by that revelation and I don't think she wants her granddaughters to watch this movie.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@boxingoctopus I did, awhile ago. I probably will get them for my nieces for Christmas and reread them. I discovered there are graphic novel adaptations. The girls are more likely to read those than the originals.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@GeekyPedagogy I thought he looked younger than Enola but we were to assume he was 18. I nitpicked that historical detail big time. He needs to be confirmed in the Lords, make a maiden speech, establish himself.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@unevenscrawl Me too. He's a great actor!

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@JacobABlackwell He was a truly evil Thenardier in Les Misérables (Masterpiece) too.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@coppercorn @EmilyContois A co-worker recommended knitting needles for the same purpose.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@corinnetags That moment was particularly well done. After tweens read about Enola and get a bit older, they can read about Mary who hails from Limehouse in The Agency series by Y.S. Lee.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@knit1write2 @EmilyContois Thank you. That was my memory but I didn't bother to try to request the books from the library since I plan to buy them for my nieces for Christmas.

@LWavghist In 1913-14 the moves were probably real. Suffrajiujitsu the application of martial arts or self-defence techniques by members of the Women's Social and Political Union during 1913/14.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@LWavghist @rinnymarie Me too, me too! SO pretty yet sooo uncomfortable and restricting. I really want to bring bloomer costumes back in fashion. Pretty and functional.

[The Time Treasurer @TimeTreasurer]

@mimicofmodes I think that's the point. The neighborhood, the shop, the boarding house are all places a woman of Enola's class wouldn't go. It's part of her disguise.

@WendyLRouse Suffrajiujitsu the application of martial arts or self-defense techniques by members of the Women's Social and Political Union during 1913/14.
