In Pursuit of Pleasure: At Home

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first of two programmes in which historian Amanda Vickery challenges the traditional image of 18th-century women by exploring their private lives and leisure pursuits.

The first episode features two women from contrasting backgrounds and shows how ordinary Georgian women's new-found freedom let them enjoy some of the social luxuries previously denied them.
