ABSTRACT

Yet it could also be claimed that from these many lives, only one emerges, a self-confident, outspoken, woman of the future, who is not Jameson, but perhaps the daughter she never had, fitted to represent the sisterhood who continued to struggle on through the long years between Jameson's death in 1860 and the slow but gradual Acts of Parliament that she never saw materialise in her own lifetime, which remedied in part those injustices perceived and publicised by Jameson as impeding and restricting the lives of women.
