Abstract
During the later years of the nineteenth century women were increasingly extending their activities beyond the traditional confines of their homes and families into a more public sphere.1 What they actually did depended on a whole range of circumstances. Most importantly it depended on class, on social and family position and expectations, on their own education, religious experience and personal commitment.
