Brings awareness to the position and rights of women in the 19th century and the prejudices held by those who are the leaders in media.
“It is equally useless to ask what might have happened if Mrs Seton and her mother and her mother before her had amassed great wealth and laid it under the foundations of college and library, because, in the first place, to earn money was impossible for them, and in the second, had it been possible, the law denied them the right to possess what money they earned “
