Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon was the most unconventional and influential leader of the Victorian women's movement. Enormously talented energetic and original she was a feminist law-reformer painter journalist the close friend of George Eliot and a cousin of Florence Nightingale. As a painter Barbara is now recognised as a vital figure among Pre-Raphaelite women artists. As a feminist she led four great campaigns: for married women's legal status for the right to work the right to vote and to education. Making brilliant use of unpublished journals and letters Pam Hirsch has written a biography that is as lively and powerful as its subject recreating the woman in all her moods and placing her firmly in the context of women's struggle for equality.
