Description: "As much as 15 per cent of the essays in Victorian periodicals were written by women, yet even the best of these pieces were allowed by the male-dominated world of scholarship to disappear from print. This anthology makes available again some of the best Victorian writing by women." "The second edition has been revised and updated; additions include a chronology and an essay by Frances Power Cobbe on the education of women."--BOOK JACKET.
