The book explores the diverse ways middle-class women in nineteenth-century Britain participated in political life, spanning traditional and unconventional arenas. It delves into their roles in sociability, salons, education, health, consumption, religious reform, and nationalism. By highlighting both prominent figures and lesser-known activists, it emphasizes the social, cultural, intellectual, and political authority these women wielded, reshaping the landscape of their time.
