| description | In 1913, an English feminist, Teresa Billington-Greig, published the results of an enquiry she carried out on white slavery in The English Review. Whereas the question gave rise to moral panic, her research was, in many regards, and compared to the literature of the time, exceptional. The very symbol of all the anxieties of a Victorian society undergoing major changes, white slavery gave rise to high emotions, which Teresa Billington-Greig countered by reflection based on her study of the facts and criticism. By her unprecedented investigational work, which meets the criteria of empirical research, she launched a wider plea for a social science at the service of reforms. |
