Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) was the leading woman journalist of the 19th century and a role model for women's success in a man's world. She was a feminist in practice rather than by principle, and used the certainties of religion, and of femininity as then defined by religion, to invent a public role and persona, achieving economic and spiritual independence in an innovative career without offending accepted social mores.Essentially a populariser of radical ideas, Martineau is more representative of her time than greater figures or writers. This book evokes the peculiarly representative quality of this pioneering Victorian career by reanimating the terms understood at the time rather than by means of modern feminist, psychological or social theories.
