Victoria and Her Sisters
Episode 2 of 4
A look at the social and economic changes which took place during Queen Victoria's reign, such as industrialisation and changing roles for women.
She began the century that bears her name a princess and ended it as an empress. Queen Victoria ruled one of the most powerful empires in world history during a century of staggering change - for both good and bad. But it was Victorian women who were at the forefront of the fight against its excesses and inequalities, who campaigned for the rights for ordinary people in marriage, education, medicine and the vote.
