"If what you want is an introductory overview, using selected case
studies to provide examples of how some women in the late 18th and
early 19th centuries lived very different and rewarding lives, and
achieved a surprising amount given the constraints placed on them
by society, then this is well worth a look. Read it for: an
interesting study of the lives of 12 disparate Regency women"--

"Rachel's fine book looks at how the women of Britain emerged from
the shadows of their husbands during the Regency period, inspiring
female writers, scientists etc, . to take hold of their own
destinies and start to have an influence on the world.
