They saw the Victorian society as narrow-minded, so they decided to live with no restrictions. For example, they supported pacifism, open marriages, women in the arts, and gay rights. As a result, they were accused of “being snobbish, wealthy elitists with no self-control” (Brooks, 2012). By 1930, the group ceased their activity due to several members’ deaths. Virginia’s rejection
