"of the female persuasion" - is that a normal turn of phrase?
It makes it sound like gender is fluid (like "she convinced herself she's a girl and there's nothing to be done about it"), which I absolutely love, especially considering it's the mid 19th century...
They didn't have the phrase 'Big tiddy goth girls' back then.
It looks like somebody asked about this phrase on the English StackExchange.
