About the book

"Josephine Butler was the leading light of a highly controversial Victorian feminist pressure group which championed prostitutes' rights and contested the sexual double standard as sanctioned by the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 1860s. After a lengthy struggle, her organization (with others) had success, and their efforts sparked similar movements internationally." "This work tells her story and asks the questions: What made her take up this cause? and What kept her going through the many years of discouragement and vicious hostility?"--Jacket.
