First published in 2001. When the Chartist leader Ernest Jones emerged from prison in 1850, he was determined to capture the publics attention with a controversial and topical novel. The result of his endeavours was the remarkable Womans Wrongs, a series of five tales exploring womens oppression at every level of society from the working class to the aristocracy. Each story presents a graphic, often harrowing account of the social, economic and emotional victimization of women, and taken together the tales comprise a devastating indictment of Victorian patriarchal attitudes and sexual inequalities. In his substantial Introduction, Ian Haywood places the novel in the context of Joness career as a Chartist author and editor, and in the wider context of the woman question. Some of the topics covered by the Introduction include: the radical press and popular enlightenment, Joness rivalry with George W. M. Reynolds, and the needlewoman as radical icon. This title will be of interest to students of history.
