Meet the woman living a modern-day Victorian life - with no cell phone, car, or home appliances

For more than 50 years, American women have cast off constrictive undergarments, which feminists have long criticized as symbols of repression.

But for one Seattle resident, embracing the corset in the 21st century has been a tool of empowerment -- not oppression. For the last four years, 33-year-old Sarah Chrisman has not only worn a corset on a daily basis, she has also unabashedly embraced the 19th century, deciding to live a wholly Victorian-era lifestyle.

Now, Mrs Chrisman makes all of her own clothes to fit a Victorian-era shape, rides a 100-year-old penny farthing bicycle and cooks with the guide of 19th century women's magazines.

A typical day includes doing her laundry by hand with the 'proper temperature of water used back then - room temperature;' reading 19th century literature, etiquette guides and magazines, like a 1889 edition of Cosmopolitan. And when it comes to cleaning, Mrs Chrisman uses 'salt to clean the carpets.'
