For Tuesday, let's continue with the same prompt but relate it more specifically to issues surrounding "the woman question" and Darwin's writings. Here is the previous prompt again:
The reading you are doing sets the stage for what was a very tumultuous time in British history. Industrial and scientific "progress" meant that the whole face of Britain was changing at incredible speed, and British imperialism and colonization meant that the empire was spreading not just across Europe but across the entire globe. Many of the conflicts, tensions, debates, and questions that arose during Victoria's reign are similar to questions that have arisen in our own time. For Tuesday, then, I would like you to pick one topic or theme that is introduced in the reading and then find a contemporary parallel. Please be specific both in your selection from the reading (use a page number) and in your example.
