Beskrivelse
First published in 2004. This five volume set collects together a series of writings on the role of women in the late-Victorian Era. Volume 2 places the controversy on marriage and motherhood in the context of the New Woman debate. While the three debates were linked, each had its own dynamic and saw shifting alliances and antagonisms. The marriage debate pitted the three different groups and their opposing interests against each other: the Old (traditionalist) Woman defended the ideals of marriage, while the progressive man advocated ''free Iove'', and the New Woman emphasized female independence within and outside marriage.
