Overview

Josephine Butler was no ordinary reformer - she did not believe in punitive discipline, and the houses she established for prostitutes to rebuild their lives were very different from those set up by other Victorian reformers. This biography attempts to do justice to a fascinating woman, so much of her time and yet so modern in her attitudes.
