Cette autrice explore la manière dont l'époque victorienne a abordé la "question de la femme", en examinant les perspectives historiques et féministes. Son travail met en lumière les formations sociales complexes et les perceptions entourant le rôle des femmes durant cette période charnière. Par une analyse minutieuse des textes de l'époque, elle offre des aperçus profonds sur les débats de l'époque et leur impact durable.
