About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Victorian era, then pay attention....

When Queen Victoria stepped onto the throne of Great Britain and Ireland in 1837, gone were the days when the monarch had supreme authority over the kingdom. Victoria ruled at the head of a government with which she was meant to converse, debate, and ultimately guide, and it was a job she sometimes struggled to perform. Victoria described herself as an emotional creature and blamed her gender for what she believed were her shortcomings as a monarch.

Victoria was an amazing Queen. She may have been as deeply flawed as all humans are, but for her era, she was a remarkable woman.
