Josephine Butler
The 'steel rape' of women is a scandal that is almost forgotten today. In Victorian England, police forces were granted powers to force any woman they suspected of being a 'common prostitute' to undergo compulsory and invasive medical examinations, while women who refused to submit willingly could be arrested and incarcerated. This scandal was exposed by Josephine Butler, an Evangelical campaigner who did not rest until she had ended the violation and helped repeal the Act that governed it. She went on to campaign against child prostitution, the trafficking of girls from Britain to Europe, and government-sponsored brothels in India. In addition, Josephine was instrumental in raising the age of consent from 13 to 16. Josephine Butler is the poignant tale of a nineteenth-century woman who challenged taboos and conventions in order to campaign for the rights of her gender. Her story is compelling – and unforgettable.

A Singular Iniquity
"Her Victorian grace and her stanch wifeliness charmed many, but to the bureaucrats of England, Mrs. Josephine Butler was a holy terror. One Member of Parliament declared her to be 'worse than prostitutes,' and a powerful British newspaper editor wrote that she was 'a shrieking sister, frenzied, unsexed, and utterly without shame.' In time she earned herself the outlandish title of 'the single individual most responsible for the spread of syphilis' - a gross slander."--Book Jacket.

So, with a practically infinite reservoir of cat videos, Flora is fairly content--even while living in a coffin-like metal booth. All human survivors live in one of these booths in a pit, after all. Everything stays splendid, until an undeniably real-sounding meow interrupts Flora's regular cat-video-viewing session. When confronted with the real, what is a person used to the virtual supposed to do?
