The Victorian Era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign which was from June 20, 1837 to January 22, 1901. The Victorian  Era was represented to show a point in a history where it was a female Monarch. At this time women still did not have the right to vote , own property if they were married or sue. Women were put into the domestic sphere around the Victorian Era, they were suppose to provide their husbands with a clean house, raise the kids, and have food on the table. Women during this era rarely had any rights they lost ownership of their wages, their physical properties, and any cash that was created once they were married.  Marriages were one of the hardest things to escape during the Victorian Era the husband was considered the power over the women and their homes. Verbal abuse, sexual violence , and economic deprivation are all issues Women had to face from their husbands during the time period. The Victorian Era becomes a significant influence for Christina Rossetti because without the value of having rights it could cause a women , to be available to the such dangers of prostitution if she wasn't married, get caught in affairs with married men, and lastly not be a wholesome women who carried herself as so. Rossetti's "Goblin Market " gives an example of how a women should be be able to turn from the defeatist energy from men.
