"Going against barriers to women working in her time period. Having fun all the while"

[palis-delon]

I've been rewatching From Lark Rise to Candleford and there was this moment I just had to share (sorry for the low audio).

"A new school master..."

"With an overbearing character..."

"And unsuitable books."

"Unggggh..."

Lark Rise is a show about a woman’s world and the men are part of it as steadying pieces or they are pulled into it and incorporated in or they leave it heartbroken but the women are the center and the heart. And that’s why I love it.

Are you normal or do you become obsessed with a tv show, your fav characters, then the actors who play them, and THEN have to look up/watch their entire filmography?!

Honestly, I’ve discovered some absolutely wonderful shows and movies that I wouldn’t have otherwise thanks to my obsessive personality! 🙃

Fictional women to aspire to #3

Dorcas Lane

From Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson

Is civil even to people who are rude, like the Pratt sisters.

Sets boundaries with Sir Timothy.

Is sympathetic to Lady Adelaide instead of being jealous of her.

Is open-minded towards those who are shunned by society, for example Mr Macey and Patty.

Stands up for herself when others question why a woman is running a post office.

Bends the rules for the sake of humanitarianism.

Is not ashamed to admit to her many weaknesses.

THE hamlet stood on a gentle rise in the flat, wheat-growing north-east corner of Oxfordshire. We will call it Lark Rise because of the great number of skylarks which made the surrounding fields their springboard and nested on the bare earth between the rows of green corn.

All around, from every quarter, the stiff, clayey soil of the arable fields crept up; bare, brown and windswept for eight months out of the twelve. Spring brought a flush of green wheat and there were violets under the hedges and pussy-willows out beside the brook at the bottom of the 'Hundred Acres'; but only for a few weeks in later summer had the landscape real beauty. Then the ripened cornfields rippled up to the doorsteps of the cottages and the hamlet became an island in a sea of dark gold.

Lark Rise to Candleford: Fisher Bloom [ISTP 7w8]

MBTI Type: ISTP Fisher is a master at fixing things, taking them apart, and figuring out how they work, so he can put them back together again. He uses this knowledge to fix the town clock, but also to fix the broken telegraph when they need it in an emergency. He is frank and unassuming, even brutal in his assessment of Laura’s character (he sees her as “buttoned up” and tells her off when she…
