Pen & Sword Books Ltd Victorian Feminists : Ten 19th Century Women Ahead Of Their Times

The Victorian era is often remembered for its rigid gender roles, yet beneath the surface, extraordinary women were challenging societal expectations and paving the way for future generations.Victorian Feminists explores the lives of ten remarkable women who defied convention, fought for their rights, and reshaped history. From Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first female physician and surgeon in Britain, to Emily Wilding Davison, whose ultimate sacrifice became a defining moment in the suffrage movement, these women refused to be confined by the limitations of their time.Christina Rossetti used poetry to challenge gender roles, Beatrix Potter turned her passion for nature into a publishing empire, and Lillie Langtry became the first celebrity to endorse commercial products, redefining women’s influence in the public sphere. Through resilience, intellect, and defiance, these women transformed their world.Victorian Feminists brings their struggles and triumphs to life, proving that the fight for equality did not begin in the 20th century—it was already being waged in the drawing rooms, lecture halls, and streets of Victorian Britain.
