WHY is Belle’s hair down in the 1850s IN AN OPERATING THEATRE though

#tie your hair up! #PLEASE #incidentally I saw a post saying that belle is a bad nurse #which of COURSE she is that’s the POINT #she’s brilliant arrogant and hierarchical with no bedside manner at all #or as it’s also known “a born surgeon” #we have to let women become surgeons #not just because equality #otherwise women like belle will try to be nurses and it will all be absolutely dreadful #but you know what good surgeons do belle? you know what they do? THEY TIE THEIR HAIR UP #especially in the 1850s! when all women’s hair is up all the time! #tbf I’m not sure if this is the 1850s #ether’s still the Yankee dodge but lister’s published his experiments with carbolic acid???? #a confusing timeline #I love this show! it’s perfectly tailored to my interests! but when is it SET
