Description

This comprehensive study bridges political theory and history to reshape understanding of the Victorian feminist movement and its approach to marriage law reform. Mary Shanley demonstrates how Victorian feminists argued that justice for women required more than public rights alone, demanding instead a fundamental transformation of the marriage relationship itself. The book examines the legal and social reforms of 1850-1895, showing how feminist thinkers of the era challenged traditional marriage structures and advocated for women's equality within domestic law. By connecting feminist political philosophy with historical analysis of actual legal changes, this work reveals the sophisticated arguments Victorian feminists made about gender, justice, and social reform. Essential reading for anyone studying Victorian history, feminist theory, legal history, or the evolution of women's rights in 19th-century England.
