Victorian Men and Women's Fears of Educating Women

Martha Vecnus's novel "Independent Women" points to educational fear for women in the Victorian era. But I think the very important issue Vicinus does not discuss is a common and separate concern of men and women in education for men and women. I think that these fears were not fully realized in her book and the Victorian era. In order to judge whether their fears have been achieved, we need to focus on personal fears and apply their fears. I study three points that I believe are the greatest fear and understanding of educating women; men and women are together, and men and women are separately concerned.

In other words, men must not only get respect for women prior to marriage, but also impress others and men in society. Men became victims of social pressure as their colleagues scrutinized their success. Victorian men need to not only compete to respect their own sexual behavior but also impress women. Assisting the family is a sign of the internal success of a true man and he continues to quote Tosh:
