What Is There To Prevent a Woman From Enjoying a Good Book, 1891

A woman after my own heart, sodding off the darning for a bit of a read.

A beautiful picture from The Mother’s Companion, 1891. I’m 40 and I bet she’s around that age too. Although with about 10 more children, I expect.

I feel like this should be my avatar for everything from now on.
