This month we dove headfirst into the wonderful world of short hair, which we both love dearly, and the slightly-more-difficult-to-stomach world of invalid cooking, which only a historian could love. Both of us have long relationships with our short hair, so we explore what rocking a pixie meant in mid-19th century Canada and how that evolved.
Short hair as a choice you make yourself can be powerful, as we both know, but it can also be done to you, as the result of trauma or a loss of agency. Illness is one of those traumas, and one with a deep culinary history, so we try out some of Mrs Beeton's recipes for invalid cooking. Turns out: drinking an egg is almost always going to be disgusting.
What we're obsessed with in history
Steph: All the fascinating research for a historical murder mystery program coming up at the Nanaimo Museum March-August 2019, as well as recent ceremonies honouring Louis Levi Oakes, the last living WWII Mohawk code talker.Torey: The Christmas by Lamplight program at Black Creek Pioneer Village, and also a source that turned out to only be tangentially related to this month's topic but was too good not to talk about: Dressing and Addressing the Mental Patient: The Uses of Clothing in the Admission, Care and Employment of Residents in English Provincial Mental Hospitals, c. 1860-1960 by Nicole Baur and Joseph Melling, in Textile History.
