Historically, these people in power and held such status were expected to be presented in certain ways. They weren’t allowed to look “comfortable” or “normal.” As Givhan stated her thinking, “Dressing appropriately is a somewhat selfless act” (Para 8) she was trying to give the reader the feeling that the Roberts family were going against this stereotype and needed to be judged for it.

As mentioned previously, Angelina Grimké belonged to one of Charleston’s premier families; accordingly, she undoubtedly participated in a number of high society events, balls parties, picnics, teas, and other traditional festivities throughout her young adulthood. However, after departing from Charleston in 1829, Angelina joined her older sister Sarah in Philadelphia and eventually became a member of the Quaker church in 1831.

Conversely, during Elizabethan times, clothing was restrictive but it was male actors who were allowed to cross-dress, as women were not allowed to act in theatres. During this time, nearly the entire population, from the upper classes to lower classes wore a ruff which encircled the neck, this dis-joined the head from the body and furthered restricted movement (Entwistle and Wilson (Eds), 2001) [Figure 3].
After World War I, women’s fashion took a turn and prospered into an exciting and new vibrant style. Society previously held tight boundaries on how women should dress.

To conform is one of our most basic instinct passed down from our cavemen ancestors. It dictates that there is safety in numbers. Society imposes what one should be like before one was born, from who one’s parents are, to what gender and sexual orientation one should be of.

Exactly in that period Charles Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol wrote “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”, a novel that tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world. It is first of all a children’s book as it has a child protagonist; however it appeals to adult readers with its advanced logical reasoning, witty puns and trenchant satire of Victorian society.
