维多利亚时代是英国工业革命的高峰时期，也是大英帝国最辉煌的时代。这一时期从1837年至1901年，正值维多利亚女王在位期间。维多利亚时代性别差异显著，女性主要承担家庭职责。但随着浪漫主义的发展，女性开始摆脱束缚，文学创作中女性作家的数量逐渐增多，她们的作品纠正了男性作家对女性的一些误解。安妮·勃朗特的小说《阿格妮丝·格雷》据称基于她本人担任家庭教师的经历。

The Victorian era of Great Britain is considered the height of the British industrial revolution and the apex of the British Empire. It is often defined as the years from 1837 to 1901, when Queen Victoria (often referred to as the greatest and most beloved of all the British monarchs) reigned, though many historians believe that the passage of the Reform Act 1832 marks the true inception of a new cultural era. The Victorian era was preceded by the Regency era and came before the Edwardian period. Victoria also had one of the longest, if not the longest, reigns in British history.

The Victorian era of Great Britain is an era that people are highly divided by sex. Females are mostly fastened on family. But the fair sex begins to break the durance as the romanticism processed.
