Dickens and the Fallen Women
This chapter explores Charles Dickens' progressive efforts to support marginalized women, particularly those labeled as 'fallen' in Victorian society. It examines his establishment of a rehabilitative home and the complexities of his portrayals of women against the backdrop of his own childhood experiences. The discussion also touches on the challenges male writers face in authentically depicting female characters and evaluates Dickens' evolving views on race and representation.
