Mrs. Florence Pannel born in 1868 speaks to about life for women in Victorian times, and also what it was like setting up a Beauty care business during those times including her life in Paris.

Forty years ago in 1977, BBC broadcaster Joan Shelton interviewed 108 year old Florence Pannel. Her words are wonderfully candid as she opens up on what life was like as a woman during the Victorian period. Florence created a beauty business which she spent time running out of both London and Paris. The humble lady accepts she was the exception and not the rule, but her spirit is sure to live on through this clip.
