Summary Lucy Worsley explores the ordinary as well as the extraordinary lives of women in the home. This was an age when respectable women were defined by their marital status as maids, wives or widows. If they fell outside these categories they were often labelled whores or witches. While history has left many women voiceless over the centuries, Lucy discovers that in the Restoration, a surprising number of women were beginning to question their roles in marriage, attitudes to sex and reproduction.
