notevery Since I'm finding it hard to pinpoint resources on this:
What was Victorian sex-ed like? Specifically in the case of an only child, a teenage girl in an upper-class family. How much would she be expected to know before marriage? Would she be expected to be told certain things by a mother/other female role model? Comments from servants? Did marriage manuals exist then?
Of course, a lot of this may go out the window, as her father is steampunk!Jack. But we'll see.
