A study of Victorian reforms in marriage law. Bridging the fields of political theory and history, it reshapes our understanding of the feminist movement of that period. It shows that Victorian feminists argued that justice for women would not follow from public rights alone, but required a fundamental transformation of the marriage relationship.
