		Victoria, too, became much attached to the Empress, whose looks and graces she admired without a touch of jealousy.
		To her it mattered nothing that her face turned red in the heat and that her purple pork-pie hat was of last year's fashion, while Eugenie, cool and modish, floated in an infinitude of flounces by her side.
		More than once, when the two were together in public, it was the woman to whom, as it seemed, nature and art had given so little, who, by the sheer force of an inherent grandeur, completely threw her adorned and beautiful companion into the shade.

	British Royalty, Queen Victoria's Not So Victorian Writings
		Perhaps if she had not had an empire over which to preside, Queen Victoria's name would be linked with the exact antithesis of what we now think of as "Victorian" if she had spent her time challenging a woman's role more publicly than in her letters to her daughter.
		Queen Victoria sneers at marriage repeatedly in her letters, even challenging the then accepted (and "Victorian") idea that a woman could only be truly fulfilled through marriage.
		Queen Victoria did, however, acknowledge that marriage in the mid nineteenth century was one of the few "career" options a woman had and seemed to feel that it was better to bow one's head to this fate without too much fuss.

		Queen Victoria had been a special link with the mother she dimly remembered, as well as a very loving grandmother.
		Queen Victoria had always feared that her great reserve and shyness would hamper the Empress and be misunderstood, and it is probable that in addition to her grandmotherly interest in the Empress's family life, the Queen sometimes gave this favorite grandchild the benefit of her wide experience.
		All the Queen's letters and the Empress's answers, which were returned to Her Majesty after Queen Victoria's death, were destroyed in March 1917 by the Empress, who did not want things so precious to her to fall into the Bolsheviks' hands.
