Description

Nineteenth-century women in British society may have seemed governed by a patriarchal model that reserved power and privilege for men, but they gradually challenged not only the ideas of 'separate spheres of society' but also the influence of Queen Victoria herself. This book explores the character and influence of the Victorian society woman in both town and country.

By examining defining moments in history and the roles these women played in shaping and redefining society, a compelling portrait of the lives of women in Victorian society is brought to life. The author seeks to understand women as individuals in their context, developing a complete picture of a changing social landscape.

The result is an illuminating study that sheds new light on the complex world of Victorian society women, revealing the ways in which they navigated and transformed their surroundings.
