Questa autrice approfondisce i modi in cui l'epoca vittoriana ha affrontato la "questione femminile", esplorando prospettive storiche e femministe. Il suo lavoro illumina le complesse formazioni sociali e le percezioni riguardanti il ruolo della donna durante questo periodo cruciale. Attraverso un'attenta analisi di testi dell'epoca, offre profonde intuizioni sui dibattiti dell'era e il loro impatto duraturo. I suoi saggi e recensioni pubblicati ampliano ulteriormente questa indagine accademica con sfumate osservazioni critiche.
