Overview
Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon-co-founder of the first women's college at Cambridge, member of George Eliot's circle, organizer of the first formal committee to promote women's rights in England-was a catalyst for British feminism in the last half of the nineteenth century. This book by Sheila Herstein examines the singular and fascinating life of Barbara Bodichon, placing it in the context of Victorian reform movements and the political, social, and religious environment in which she lived.Book Details
