Queen Victoria is often cast as a foe of the women's movement - the
sovereign who famously declared women's rights to be a 'mad, wicked
folly'. Yet these words weren't circulated publicly until after the
Queen's death in 1901. Beginning with this insight, this book
reveals Victoria as a ruler who captured the imaginations of
nineteenth-century feminists. Women's rights activists routinely
used Victoria to assert their own claims to citizenship. So popular
was their strategy that it even motivated anti-suffragists to
launch their own campaign to distance Queen Victoria from feminist
initiatives. In highlighting these exchanges, this book draws
attention to the intricate and often overlooked connections between
the histories of women, the monarchy, and the state. In the
process, it sheds light on the development of constitutional
monarchy, concepts of female leadership, and the powerful role that
the Crown - and queens specifically - have played in modern British
culture and politics.
