Feminism and Political Economy in Victorian England examines the attitudes of leading nineteenth-century economic writers to the ‘Woman Question’. Focusing on the work of J.S. Mill, Henry Fawcett, W.S. Jevons, Henry Sidgwick, Alfred Marshall, the Webbs and Clara Collet, this volume reveals that women’s issues were more widely discussed during the Victorian era than is sometimes supposed.

In a series devoted to countering stereotypes of the Victorian era in England, this volume begins by explaining how recipes in early cookbooks reflected their writers' socioeconomic status and products of the Industrial Revolution (e.g., gas ranges). Broomfield , the author of Daily Life in Victorian England (1996), traces the evolution of breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea, and the snob appeal of foods with French names. The book includes a chronology of English Victorian culinary history, period illustrations, sample recipes, and a glossary of cooking terms.
