Cornell University Press Crimes of Outrage: Sex, Violence, and Victorian Working Women
This provocative study explores the subordination of Victorian working women in the home, neighborhood, and workplace.

However, while women used local courts of vindicate their reputation before their neighbors, doing so often compromised their respectability in the eyes of the public.
