Description
Among the misinterpreted ideas about the Regency era is the concept that women were more confined to etiquette than men. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that this quality of being 'amiable' (likable, friendly, sensitive, even lovable) in the Regency culture was crucial to almost every person of any status or social position regardless of gender.
