For the first time the subjects of fighting for the women's rights and necessity of immediate change of the social status of women were raised. The heroine of the novel Helen Graham had to run away from her husband, alcoholic and tyrant Arthur Huntington, to save and protect their son from the malign and corrosive influence of the father. English married woman of the middle of the nineteenth century didn't actually have any rights. In fact, everything she had belonged to her husband.
