Joseph Hume was at the forefront of nearly every major reform endeavor in the first half of the 19th century. His personal life largely remains a mystery, because his private papers were destroyed by fire. The authors have gone though many manuscript collections of those close to him in order to present this volume.

This volume examines female engagement in both traditional and unconventional political arenas in nineteenth-century Britain, including female sociability, salons, child-rearing and education, health, consumption, religious reform and nationalism. Richardson focuses on middle-class women's social, cultural, intellectual and political authority, as implemented by a range of public figures and lesser-known campaigners.
