A drawing room is a room in a house where visitors may be entertained, and a historical term for what would now usually be called a living room. The name is derived from the 16th-century terms withdrawing room and withdrawing chamber, which remained in use through the 17th century, and made their first written appearance in 1642. ~ Wikipedia

Drawing is short for withdrawing. It was the room into which you welcomed your guests, like a living room meant only for social occasions. There was a separate room called a family room that was like a living room but only for family members. The drawing room was, essentially, 'public' while the family room was 'private'. The functions of both rooms eventually merged into one room that we now call the living room. Also, the drawing room was more formal and lavish, while the family room was more casual.

Victorian death photos are wild and pretty awesome. Victorians were super into death--the "good" death, saying some wise line for your last words and then passing quietly surrounded by family. Women who were making their wedding dresses would know that it's likely to be their funeral garb as well, especially if they die in childbirth (which was extremely common) They'd take a lock of hair from the dead person and come up with interesting and unique ways of using the hair in jewelry.

[@applegal3058]

Indeed, people deal with grief differently, plus culture also plays a role. No one is harmed, and people have a memory of the deceased person saved...especially if no other previous photos exist. Even in my time, having a picture taken was less common. I have very few childhood pictures. My mom probably has less than 6 pictures as a child. I know of 2 pictures in total of her at around 3 or 4...that's it. My pictures as a baby were mostly taken by my more wealthy grandmother. I probably have around 2 dozen childhood pictures, and no video.

Postmortem photography was also helped by the fact that early daguerreotypes took a long time to take one picture - you had to hold completely still. If you breathed too deeply or fidgeted in the slightest, the picture was blurry. This is also why people don't really smile in old pictures - it's too hard to be perfectly still holding a smile for that time. And one thing dead people are extraordinarily good at is sitting still, so... that combined with photography being cheaper than custom paintings and boom! Let's get Grandma in the picture!

There was also a kitchen, for cooking food, an informal dining room or family table, and a formal dining room with a bigger table and which connected to the drawing room.

Death masks make sense to me. Before photographs, you would forget how your dead parents looked and the next generation may not even have seen them. By having a death mask you can look at it and remember their face in 3D and hopefully bring back memories. I wouldn't have wanted to put my parents in the ground with nothing but a tombstone and my memories to register they ever existed.

A drawing room is like a living room, but formal. It was where guests would WITHDRAW to after being entertained at dinner.

Simon going on about whether Birdwhistle is a real name made me laugh. I went to school with a girl whole last name is Birdwhistle... she was nicknamed Tweety and got teased entirely too much by obnoxious little boys 🙄

I have always thought that a drawing room originated from withdrawing room, that being the room that the ladies would withdraw to after dinner, leaving the guys to smoke and get pissed to their hearts content.

A "drawing room" is in an expensive house, to which people would "withdraw" during a fancy party, then eat canapés, drink cocktails, etc.

"Very little rights" In most circumstances, women still can't get her tubes tied if she has no children, even if having children might kill her.

[@chaosreaver3597]

Yeah, most doctors in the U.S. won't perform the procedure if a woman is under 30, regardless of why it was requested. In some countries it's out right illegal to do it ever. One of my friends asked for a hysterectomy when she was 19, she absolutely knew she didn't want to have a pregnancy, her sister and a friend had died from being pregnant (the sister died during childbirth, unfortunately the baby didn't make it ethier. Her friend died from complications caused by the pregnancy). She always has maintained that if she mets the right guy or desires children, she can adopt a kid who needs her as much she wants them. So it wasn't like she didn't know what she was asking for. Fortunately, we live in the U.K. so when my friend reported the doctor who said no to the hysterectomy, they were struck off (had their medical licence taken), the A-Hole doctor didn't believe in abortion or birth control and had pushed his agenda for years, he told young women not to use birth control as "It causes health complications" (small clue, that's crap in most cases) or get abortions because it was immoral. The prick told at least one pregnant rape victim this. I found out later because she sued the [expletive] and it made the news, after my friend nuked this guy and his former patients were informed. What I'm getting at is if wanted to get snipped, as a guy, a doctor wouldn't bat an eyelid. Women have to do a show dog routine to be "allowed" to do the same. It's BS, and completely unfair.

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@chaosreaver3597 It's no longer a "most" in the USA, but you're right that far too many OBGYNs are too strict about this. The tide is turning though and it's much better than it used to be. I had zero issues whatsoever getting my salpingectomy and my OBGYN was vehement about anyone of any age being able to know for sure they don't want kids and that she respects that and will perform the surgeries starting as soon as people's insurance will cover it (so age 21). Zero hoops to jump through at all for me. I feel for people who have a harder time of it though, the problem absolutely is real and as a healthcare worker myself I'm passionate about seeing continued change. Just wanted to throw out there that things are indeed already getting better all the time! I am sorry for those people in your stories about that awful doctor though, that's awful and I'm glad he was appropriately punished by the system for it

[@chaosreaver3597]

@@ItsAsparageese It's very state dependent in the U.S. I remember a Reddit post that I swore was BS last year. I was wrong. It was about the OP being refused an abortion (one night stand thing, she didn't want to be a mother in college and the frat boy who got her pregnant suddenly couldn't be contacted) from a "family planning centre" in Texas. It was one of those place that claimed to be providing help to people who wanted to get birth control or abortions. But in reality was staffed by doctors and nurses who "Couldn't possibly recommend birth control or an abortion on moral grounds". The damm place was funded by the Catholic Church. I found that out because a commenter posted a link to a news article about the place. Basically while they claimed to family planning centre, in reality their mission was to talk any woman or couple who walked it the door into not getting birth control or abortions then refusing to give prescriptions or procedures if they insisted. This was perfectly legal. It wouldn't have been so bad if this "clinic" was in a city like Austin or Houston, at least women would have other options, but it was in a small town with a very poor population and was the only place for 50 miles around that "offered" family planning. The sole purpose of that place was to tell some of the most disadvantaged people in Texas to suck it up and have babies whether they could afford it or not. I spent 5 minutes thinking to myself, "This is the same country that put men on the moon, how could something like this be legal?" Edit: Spelling.

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@chaosreaver3597 Yeah for sure abortion in particular is very state-dependent, and access to clinics is very location-dependent within a state ... For my part though, I was still referring more to sterilization than to abortion, since OP had talked about tubal ligation and you'd mentioned hysterectomy. Sterilization isn't very state-dependent legislatively, just a bit culturally in terms of what percentage of doctors in an area will be reasonable about it. But you can find a sterilization-friendly OBGYN anywhere, and the hoops to jump through aren't substantially worse in any state than another, generally. L So yeah you're absolutely right about the issues you describe, it's just not quite the same as what I was saying is improving/more widely accessible now even though it's very close to the same topic. I'm glad you shared this info though, people need to know how bad the abortion situation is especially in rural areas and especially in conservative states!

[@chaosreaver3597]

@@ItsAsparageese I think of birth control, abortion and sterilization as the same branch of medicine. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It's good to know body autonomy and choice is being taken more seriously in America now. It isn't like issues like I mentioned are localised to the U.S. My grandparents (father's side) are from Ireland, they had some horror stories. Abortion was illegal untill a couple of years ago, but, naturally some women couldn't care or provide for the babies but had no choice but had to carry to term. The catholic church however had a solution. A not strictly consensual system of paid for closed adoptions. It wasn't uncommon for young woman to be carted off to a church run home to give birth by their families, then forced to turn over their rights and then watch as their babies be sold to childless couples. The church made a absolutely killing from this "trade". It was the prefect situation for them. Young woman would get pregnant, because well, young people are more interested in what fun they can have in the moment, and don't think of the consequences, plus birth control was illegal during the hight of this crap. Then, because families often couldn't support these young ladies having children, the church would "save" the babies and sell them to wealthy couples. Most of the priests and nuns who were questioned when the whole thing came to light were completely remorseless. They were doing "God's work". The story made me realise religion and culture shouldn't be allowed anywhere near family planning. Because the beliefs and opinions of some people could have lifetimes of impact. I know that's hypocritical of me to say that, as this my belief and opinion, but I don't think something written in a 2,000 year old book should dictate how a woman in the modern world should "behave" when it comes to growing a whole ass person in them. Edit: Clarification.

A drawing room is a room in a house where visitors may be entertained, and a historical term for what would now usually be called a living room

[@KarrierBag]

What is a drawing room? 3:10 The term appeared in the 18th century and designates a space which is mainly used for entertaining the guests. It's not a room where the homeowners would spend their free time but more like the space where guests are sited before and after dinner
