Abstract
Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon was a classic nineteenth-century figure in that her significance rests on her having inhabited a whole series of different roles during her life. As the title of Hirsch’s biography has it, she was a ‘Feminist, Artist and Rebel’. In London, she was the leader of the Langham Place group, close to George Eliot, the Rosettis and Gertrude Jekyll, while her interest to historians of gender also lies in her considerable correspondence in which she reflected on political questions and revealed much about the lives of mid-century British women who were striving for greater personal independence.
