Most people are aware that women rarely owned property outright until the passage of the Married Women's Property Act in 1881. An heiress's property passed to her husband when she married. But that is not the whole story. Could a woman be protected from unscrupulous husbands? Could she manage property even if she did not own it? The story is much more diverse, especially when it is set in the context of the Industrial Revolution and a rapidly changing society. While concentrating on the situation at Tabley, the lecture will look wider and include other heiresses such as Mary Booth at Dunham Massey and Elizabeth Wilbraham at Weston Park
