“The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights', with all its attendant horrors.”

Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, the longest reign of any British monarch until Elizabeth II. The Victorian era saw industrial growth, a vast empire and sweeping social change, and she became Empress of India in 1876. Her journals and letters fill volumes, and her devotion to Prince Albert shaped her life after his early death.
