Etiquette manual
Manners and etiquette were very important for southern ladies in the early 1900s, as they were expected to dress elegantly and behave politely, especially at tea parties, where fancy dresses, gloves and hats were worn. Southern women took great care with their appearance and dress, wearing Victorian bustles and dressing in a high-class, fancy manner. Girls who exhibited refined manners and speech were known as "Southern Belles".

A tea ceremony is a ritual intended to provide guests with relief from daily stresses through principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Tea ceremonies were historically held in simple tea houses located within private gardens, where all guests were treated equally regardless of social rank. The ceremonies followed elaborate rules for preparing and serving matcha tea in a quiet, meditative setting.

Brief History of Coffee (1).pdf
Coffee originated in Ethiopia, where a shepherd discovered his goats became energetic after eating red berries. The shepherd shared the discovery with others, who boiled the beans and found the resulting drink kept them alert during prayers at night. Coffee spread from Ethiopia to Yemen and Turkey, becoming popular in coffee houses that were hubs for socializing and news. While some initially opposed coffee for religious reasons, it gained widespread acceptance and drove global trade and revolution. Today coffee is one of the most popular drinks worldwide.
Tea tradition in the uk
Tea was first mentioned in English culture in 1597. In the 17th century, coffee houses in London began advertising tea as an amazing medicine. The 17th Duchess of Bedford popularized the tradition of afternoon tea among the upper classes in the 19th century. How tea was served showed social status, with "low tea" for royalty and "high tea" originally for workers. Tea gardens and tea houses grew in popularity in the 18th century as social spaces for drinking tea and entertainment. Afternoon tea is now becoming popular again in cities with varied tea menus.

Taylor—Upper Class Women of the Gilded Age
Upper class women in the Gilded Age were expected to act as hostesses and manage their households. Their main roles were to plan social events and ensure all aspects of home and servants ran smoothly. Women faced strict rules of etiquette and were discouraged from expressing strong opinions. They dressed in numerous layers and wore corsets, following etiquette even for multi-course formal dinners. At estates like Biltmore, women had regulated schedules and engaged in approved leisure activities like dances, games, and horseback riding. Though confined largely to the domestic sphere, a few women like Julia Wolfe and Lillian Clement achieved success in business and politics, breaking barriers during this restrictive period.
Society 18th Century
During the 18th century, the population of Europe grew significantly due to advances in nutrition, hygiene, and reductions in epidemics. Society was very young, with half the workforce under 20, and nuclear families became more common. Enlightenment ideas spread new notions of rationalism and tolerance, strengthening early feminism and arguments for women's equality. However, most thinkers still believed in traditional gender roles and women's subordinate status to men. Salons run by women provided an acceptable social and intellectual space for women's education and participation in philosophical debates.

Harriet Robinson, Early Factory Labor in New England” 1883 Memoir.docx
Harriet Robinson, “Early Factory Labor in New England” 1883 Memoir
In her autobiography, Harriet Hanson Robinson, the wife of a newspaper editor, provided an account of her earlier life as female factory worker (from the age of ten in 1834 to 1848) in the textile Mills of Lowell, Massachusetts. Her account explains some of the family dynamics involved, and lets us see the women as active participants in their own lives - for instance in their strike of 1836.
In what follows, I shall confine myself to a description of factory life in Lowell, Massachusetts, from 1832 to 1848, since, with that phase of Early Factory Labor in New England, I am the most familiar-because I was a part of it.
In 1832, Lowell was little more than a factory village. Five "corporations" were started, and the cotton mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand and stories were told all over the country of the new factory place, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of workpeople; stories that reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons and glave new life to lonely and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses .... Troops of young girls came from different parts of New England, and from Canada, and men were employed to collect them at so much a head, and deliver them at the factories.
. . .
At the time the Lowell cotton mills were started the caste of the factory girl was the lowest among the employments of women. In England and in France, particularly, great injustice had been done to her real character. She was represented as subjected to influences that must destroy her purity and selfrespect. In the eyes of her overseer she was but a brute, a slave, to be beaten, pinched and pushed about. It was to overcome this prejudice that such high wages had been offered to women that they might be induced to become millgirls....
The early millgirls were of different ages. Some were not over ten years old; a few were in middle life, but the majority were between the ages of sixteen and twentyfive. The very young girls were called "doffers." They "doffed," or took off, the full bobbins from the spinningframes, and replaced them with empty ones. These mites worked about fifteen minutes every hour and the rest of the time was their own. When the overseer was kind they were allowed to read, knit, or go outside the millyard to play. They were paid two dollars a week. The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one halfhour each, for breakfast and dinner. Even the doffers were forced to be on duty nearly fourteen hours a day. This was the greatest hardship in the lives of these children. Several years later a tenhour law was passed, but not until long after some of these little doffers were old enough to appear before the legislative committee on the subject, and plead, by their presence, for a reduction of the hours of labor.

How did women live in The Middle Ages
Women in the Middle Ages had very limited freedom and were expected to be subservient to the men in their family. Their roles were dependent on their social status, with noble women managing households and peasant women working alongside their husbands in the fields and taking on tasks like cooking, cleaning, and childcare. While the Church taught that women were inferior, some women were able to become respected saints, scholars, or leaders like Joan of Arc. Most women worked rather than staying at home, and even took responsibility for defending manors when men were absent.

British people and the tea
Britain has a long tradition of tea drinking that dates back to the 17th century.

The traditional British way of drinking tea involves brewing loose leaf tea in a warmed teapot and serving it with a significant amount of milk and sugar. Tea breaks, tea parties, and other tea-related words are now ingrained in British culture and language.

Life in Ancient Athens was divided into social classes. The upper class did not do manual labor and had time for government, war, and the arts. The middle class included tradesmen and metics who could not vote. Slaves were at the bottom and served all. Families lived in homes with rooms for men, women, children, slaves, and food storage. Children's lives depended on their family's wealth. Education differed by gender, with boys learning academics and girls domestic skills. Religion centered on Greek gods. Clothing also differed by gender and class. Music, art, and plays were popular leisure activities.
