Priviledge and Scandal

I’m reading a fun book that I got at the L-I-B-R-A-R-Y. Privilege and Scandal: The Remarkable Life of Harriet Spencer, Sister of Georgiana, by Janet Gleeson.

The allowance that a rich married women got to spend, even if she brought the money to the marriage, was called “pin money.”

18th-century women called their periods, "the prince."

Someday my prince will come and someday my prince will go, forever.
