Victorian Fashions for Women and Children: Society's Impact on Dress
Linda Setnik grew up in southern California, where she graduated with honors in history from California State University, Northridge.  In her fascination with historic costume, Linda has delved through thousands of period photographs and examined Victorian clothing in minute detail. Enthralled with women's social history of the Victorian period, she devotes much of her free time reading nineteenth-century fashion, beauty, etiquette, household, and medical literature. She works for the Folsom Historical Museum as consultant for their extensive Victorian clothing collection and is the author of Victorian Costume for Ladies, 1860-1900.
