DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Together\, the adult lives of Eliza (c.1
 820-1850)\, Caroline (1816-1889) \, Matilda (1816/
 17-1866) and Emilie Ashurst (1826?-1893) spanned t
 he greater part of Queen Victoria's reign. Daughte
 rs of a wealthy Radical lawyer\, the artistic and 
 political causes they embraced cover many of the m
 ost progressive tendencies of the period\, ranging
  from translation of the novels of George Sand to 
 patronage of James McNeill Whistler and the unific
 ation of Italy to the women's suffrage. \n\nBeside
 s the opportunity they offer to re-examine metropo
 litan middle-class radicalism\, the careers of the
 se four women raise the question of whether provin
 cial non-conformist Radicals may have been over-va
 lued in twentieth century historiography of the Br
 itish labour movement as well as perennial issues 
 about the relative importance of political parties
  and social movements in achieving political chang
 e.
