While the image of bourgeois Victorian women as 'angels in the house' isolated from the world in private domesticity has long been dismissed as an unrealistic ideal, women have remained marginalised in many recent accounts of the public culture of the middle class. Simon Morgan aims to redress the balance. By drawing on a variety of sources including private documents, he argues that women actually played an important role in the formation of the public identity of the Victorian middle class. Through their support for cultural and philanthropic associations and their engagement in political campaigns, women developed a nascent civic identity, which for some informed their later demands for political rights. "Middle Class Women and Victorian Public Culture" offers numerous insights for the reader into the public lives of women in this fascinating period.

'A woman born at the turn of the century could have lived through two periods when it was her moral duty to devote herself, obsessively, to her children: three when it was her duty to society to neglect them; two when it was right to be seductively feminine and three when it was a pressing social obligation to be the reverse; three separate periods in which she was a bad wife, mother and citizen for wanting to go out and earn her own living, and three others when she was an even worse wife, mother and citizen for not being eager to do so.' Thus Ruth Adam describes the extraordinary story of women's emancipation from the time of the suffragettes to Women's Lib. Intelligent and humane, this very readable book draws on a wealth of source material to illustrate what life was like for women since Victorian times. Throughout, Ruth Adam describes aspects of our mothers' and grandmothers' lives in a cogent, mildly cynical, but delightful way. Her book combines the academic, the popular, the human, the rigorous and the witty into a work of history which is quite unlike any other.

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: A, , course: Diploma, language: English, abstract: Women were perceived as unequal to men throughout the 19th Century. Before 1850, women's rights were limited. A system existed which was entirely patriarchal (governed by men). Britain was run by common law; a law which dictated that once a woman married, she ended up with no rights to anything, for example, the house she lived in, the money she earned or the clothes she wore, because they all belonged to her husband. If she divorced, even her children were taken away from her.

First published in 1995. The essays in this volume demonstrate how Victorian women took up various positions along a continuum that ranged from the desire of Shelley’s creature for the power and acceptance it associated with the house to the rejection of Brontë’s heroine of the immobility and powerlessness she ultimately experienced there. More specifically the essays in this volume explore the nature of the Victorian woman’s domestic relations by centring in one activity that most informed her place in what was often the father’s house: housekeeping. The essays in this edition determine how writers, especially novelists, both male and female, used housekeeping to construct, reconstruct, represent, and inscribe the female self and condition. This title will be of interest to students of history and literature.

A compendious illustrated guide to those industrious but often overlooked women writers of the Victorian era: the famous, the forgotten and the forlorn. More than 1,500 women authors, along with over 400 pseudonyms, 400 quotes and extracts, and a further 40 subject entries and essays. Not just the familiar names - though they're all there - but literally hundreds of minor and middle-ranking authors, along with the magazines they were serialized in, the trends, the publishers, and the disadvantages and problems women writers faced in what was assumed to be a man's world. You'll find entries on The Bigamy Novel, Children's Literature, Domestic Fiction, Feminism First Faltering Footsteps, Ghost Stories, Governess Stories, Literary Style, Living in a Man's World, Morality and Religion, The New Woman, Romance, Sensation Novels, Silly and Silver Fork Novels, Social Conditions and Reform, The Three-Decker novel, Tracts and Tract Societies, Travellers and Explorers, 'Womanly Fiction', 'Woman's Place' - and more. This is a popular encyclopaedia, not an academic text. It's a book to read and enjoy, to dip into and consult for reference, and it's very readable. Not only is it written in easy-to-read prose but (almost uniquely) it is packed with extracts from Victorian women's writing - paragraphs, short scenes, verses - to bring these authors back to life.

Since the late twentieth century, there has been a strategic campaign to recover the impact of Victorian women writers in the field of English literature. However, with the increased understanding of the importance of interdisciplinarity in the twenty-first century, there is a need to extend this campaign beyond literary studies in order to recognise the role of women writers across the nineteenth century, a time that was intrinsically interdisciplinary in approach to scholarly writing and public intellectual engagement.
