What did Queen Victoria do for culture and society?

Question

Please add all your sources so I can have true facts please.

Answer 1

She did a lot for the advancement of anaesthetics.

When she used chloroform during the birth of her eighth child, essentially endorsing it's use, it made it much more acceptable in the general population-and having a patient anaesthetised was clearly much safer during medical procedures.

Answer 2

In the olden days the Queen and King were like the PMs and have the power to control the country. I guess if it's the modern society [Which is now], her name is definitely famous as many palces were named after her name, she attends many events and is seen as an ambassador for the country.

Answer 3

In the western world she made people hypocritical, prudish, and ashamed of their bodies.

Answer 4

NOTHING

Answer 5

She was ruler of great Britain during it's economic boom and the empire was expanded hugely during her reign so it wasn't only Britain's culture and society she affected but the whole of what is now the Commonwealth.

From a military stand she left her mark in a lot of traditions,

During parade for the Queen she addressed the Royal Engineers as "officers and Genlemen of the Corps of Royal Engineers" which has been used since (I used to be one of the "Gentlemen")

Also the rank structure in the Foot Guards was changed by her, she saw a coproral on guard and decided he wasn't a high enough rank to guard the queen, so another stripe was sewn on corporal's uniforms, same rank, more bling! the rank was - and still is - Lance Sergeant

It's also because of her that Homosexual acts between two men was made illegal, it was OK between two women because the queen couldn't imagine what 2 women could do to each other and nobody had the nerve to tell her!

She made a big impact on what our country became

Also, she gave her name to the pub in Eastenders - this must score under both culture and society.
