Relative Creatures: Victorian Women in Society and the Novel
by Francoise Basch
paperback in good used condition
"Pity the poor Victorian woman. Hemmed in by a numerous family, her body blasted with excessive childbearing and miscarriage, she would be a reproach to any modern woman. Her middle-class family had marked her for a marriage of convenience, and by her early twenties she would be the embattled commander of a squadron of stupid servants, penned within the "golden circle of the hearth." By virtue of marriage, her legal status became that of chatted property. She could not vote, could keep neither earnings nor her children in the event of a divorce (which her husband would have instituted), and in a nation ruled by a woman she was, for all practical purposes, a political, legal, and intellectual nonentity.
