Review:
"a readable and fresh accont of women's lives between the reign of George III and the First World War. The book offers a skillful synthesis of a range of published material relating to women of all social classes - working class, middle class, and elite women, including Queens Charlotte and Victoria. The themes explored include life expectancy, sex, marriage and childbirth, religion, education, work inside and outside the home, as well as political activism." HISTORY TODAY "Steinbach's lively survey brings together the results of researches to offer a revealing portrait of women's lives in every class and all areas of life." THE SCOTSMAN "Women in England is a grand sweep of a book, a well-researched , freshly written, and unexpectedly entertaining look at "the long 19th century" from women's points of view... an engaging synthesis." THE INDEPENDENT "Women in England is a first stop for the reader who wants a survey of this important but, until fairly recently, neglected subject." CHURCH TIMES
