@rosiehharte: Edith Lanchester was a Victorian woman who refused to get married… what her family did in response was horrifying 😨 #History #historyfacts #victorianera #19thcentury #victorianhistory

Their daughter Elsa Lanchester played the Bride of Frankenstein.

That’s why time travel isn’t real yet. Lord knows I’d be messing up the time stream

Same with this indian female doctor Rukmabai. They concluded she was suffering from “over education” when she asked for a divorce 😅 The judge asked her to choose her husband or jail. She chose jail. She received her medical license in 1894
