Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The charismatic campaigner who fought Victorian exploitation of vulnerable women, and the State organisation of prostitution. The 'steel rape' of women is a scandal that is almost forgotten today. In Victorian England, police forces were granted powers to force any woman they suspected of being a 'common prostitute' to undergo compulsory and invasive medical examinations, while women who refused to submit willingly some as young as 13 could be arrested and incarcerated. This scandal was exposed by Josephine Butler, an Evangelical campaigner who did not rest until she had ended the violation and helped repeal the Act that governed it. She went on to campaign against child prostitution, the trafficking of frightened girls from Britain to Europe, and government sponsored brothels in India. In addition, Josephine was instrumental in raising the age of consent from 13 to 16. This is the poignant tale of a nineteenth-century woman who challenged taboos and conventions in order to campaign for the rights of her gender. AUTHOR: Helen Mathers has a PhD in history from the University of Sheffield and has taught many courses on Victorian and women's history as an associate lecturer. She currently teaches for the Open University. A member of the Society of Authors since 2006, Helen is the author of Born in Sheffield: A History of the Women's Health Services 18642000 and Steel City Scholars: The Centenary History of the University of Sheffield.
