Regency England is a world immortalized in novels and poems. Its popular image continues to be mythologized by romance novels set in the period, which focus almost exclusively on wealthy, white, Christian members of the upper classes. But there are hundreds of fascinating women who don't fit this limited perception of what was historically accurate for early 19th century England. Discover the controversies surrounding what is accepted as "historically accurate" for the wildly popular Regency period, and the independent-minded, standard-breaking real historical women who lived life on their terms. -- adapted from information provided.
