It is said that the occupation of "maid" became popular in Victorian England. Under the catalysis of the industrial revolution and free trade, the British Empire had a very strong national strength at that time. On the other hand, although the industry has been innovated, people's living habits and class society have become more conservative. Rich people are more eager to improve their class status. They want their lives to be closer to the upper class, or at least look like the upper class. At that time, one of the criteria for a gentleman was to hire servants. Having servants is a symbol of power and status, and first-class nobles will hire many servants.
