I found excerpts from the time in A Victorian Lady's Guide to Fashion and Beauty, by Mimi Matthews, but google seems to have some offerings. (I should add that I don't find the crinoline-caused deaths to be funny, only the more lighthearted attacks and defenses of women taking up too much room.)
Thank you, and now that you mention it, I've run across the crinoline-caused deaths before.
