Justice for Men & Boys 
I was drawn to this, unsurprising from the BBC BBC drama ‘rewrote history to turn scandalous aristocrat into a feminist’ The auther”ess” points out the change made by the BBC. “It is an act of negotiation. For me, one of the most difficult things about that was the desire to make Lady Worsley into a feminist when she absolutely was not a feminist”She was a rich heiress who wanted her money back. And she did what she could to get it back.“She wasn’t doing these things for the good of womankind or anybody else other than herself, and there was this desire to frame her as a feminist so she could speak to a modern audience, and that made me slightly uncomfortable.”
Or perhaps the grasping Lady Worsley is a model for modern feminists after all.
