This provocative study explores the subordination of Victorian working
women in the home, neighborhood, and workplace. Drawing on courtroom
proceedings, D'Cruze reveals that women's interest in speaking out
against violent crimes often coincide with the court's agenda to
discipline the unruly behavior of working men. 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.
