During the Victorian period, women were judged on the legendary guilt of the female sex. As the women's rights movement gathered strength and coherence, the advent of mesmerism, spiritualism and theosophy - collectively the new witchcraft of the Victorian period - revived old notions of female occult power. In this book, the author explores these two strands of Victorian feminism and argues that the taboo subject of menstruation was the hidden pleader at the centre of the woman question.
