The ideal woman of the Victorian era was a combination of sexual innocence, conspicuous consumption, and worship of the family hearth - with marriage and procreation being a woman's only function. This title presents a collection of ten essays which document the feminine stereotypes that Victorian women fought against, but only partially defeated.
