DESC: Mrs. Georgina Weldon, whose embrace of the Married Woman's Property Act of 1882 is legendary, is the focus of this biography. When Weldon discovered that this Act guaranteed her a right to sue in a court of law--a right never before granted British women--she sued with abandon, implicating 100 sundry men in seven years for offences against her that ranged from grudges to serious theft. This biography is colored by the eccentric life she led and the characters she encountered, including many scandals associated with her having leased an old property that once belonged to Dickins and turning it first into a music academy and then an orphanage. When Weldon's husband attempted to have her remanded for lunacy, finally deeming her insane after years of madcap exploits, Weldon seized the opportunity to effectively voice protest against lunacy laws.
