Mike Rendell's book offers a fascinating insight into the world of female inequality in the eighteenth century. It looks at the reasons for that inequality - the legal barriers, the lack of education, the prejudices and misconceptions held by men - and also examines the reluctance of women to compete on an equal footing. Why did so many women accept that 'a woman's place was in the home'? Using case studies of women who succeeded despite all the barriers and opposition, the author asks why, in the light of their success, so little progress was made in the Victorian era.
