When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, a married woman was not allowed to own property. Any money she earned belonged to her husband, who also had the right to take her children away from her. Higher education for girls was non-existent, while in the factories of the industrial north, women did the same work as men for half the wages. In this book Betty Williams assesses the achievements of pioneers such as Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst and Marie Stopes, and asks how far women still live in a man's world.
