It sounds as if she's also defending some aspects of the era, and I think that's understandable: this is also an age of activism against slavery and for women's rights, an age that saw the birth of socialism and quantum theory, the age of Darwin and Edison. Books were cheaper and more widely available than ever before, literacy was becoming more widespread, and even the fashions that our Luddite blogger loves so much were becoming accessible to a much wider public than ever before. Everyone keeps saying that the standards of gracious living we think of as "Victorian" were only available to the wealthiest, but IIRC, standards of living were improving even for the poor.

Oh yeah it wasn't the worst, it was a fascinating time of change leading to today! I suppose I'm talking about rose-tinted brass-goggled people who might think it was all better and more ~authentic than today (in terms of rights, health and wealth).

"Rose-tinted brass-goggled people" is a beautiful phrase.
