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.
Marshalsea Prison was a prison in South London. In the 19th Century, it was home to many debtors, but it didn’t just imprison debtors. Famously, Charles Dickens’ father, John, was held here. He was imprisoned in 1824, when Dickens was only twelve years old. Dickens was then sent out to make money for his family to repay his father’s debt. This experience impacted much of Dickens’ writing, specifically his novel, Little Dorrit.
