VICTORIANA is the revolutionary new history of the Victorians through the extraordinary and ordinary women written out of it – in the tradition of FEMINA and THE STORY OF ART WITHOUT MEN

Victorian history, as we know it, is a story of power, progress, and empire. It is also, overwhelmingly, a story of great men. But that is only half the picture.

Across Britain and its empire, women were not standing on the sidelines, but working, inventing, organising, performing, and resisting at every level. Victoriana reveals a world far more dynamic – and far less orderly – than the one we think we know.

This is not a history of exceptions, but of a hidden majority: women who helped build the Victorian world, even as it denied them recognition.
