Women  Literature and Finance in Victorian Britain: Cultures of Investment defines the cultures
that emerged in response to the democratization of the stock market in nineteenth-century

economic and affective lives of characters. Analyzing evidence about the lives of real
investors together with fictional examples  including case studies of four authors who were
also investors  Nancy Henry argues that investing was not just something women did in Victorian
Britain  it was a distinctly modern way of thinking about independence  risk  global
communities and the future in general.
