The woman question of the Victorian era was the questioning of how women fit into society, mostly concerning political and legal rights, especially for women without husbands or without high-class status. The dilemma was so widespread and well known, that reportedly " Queen Victoria herself reflected these two sides of the question, as she was often depicted as and presented herself in terms of the ideal wife and mother even as she reigned as the monarch." (The Saylor Foundation.) This fact about the Queen is extremely interesting, due to knowing that she is the complete top-tier of class and power in the nation, but still was the ideal mother and lady, suggests that perhaps she believed that women did in fact have the potential the have those freedoms and fit nicely into society.

This explains many of the advancements in women's rights, including women's suffrage, The Married Woman's Property Act, and the improvement of conditions both at home and work for women under Victoria's rule, with many more shortly after her reign. Queen Victoria had to have had a hand to play in these advancements happening in her kingdom, even after her death in 1901. I have received this timeline that shows these events and when they took place as well.
