Certainly there were people wanting and attempting to push reforms, before, during and after the Victorian era. There were religious movements based around egalitarianism already in the 1600s. After that the whole American and French revolutions. During the Victorian era, suffragettes for example.
Edit: and of course communism afterwards.
- bobthepanda 6y agoSuffragettes only really start picking up steam in the 20th century and Queen Victoria died in 1901. I'm not going to say that Victorian social norms were frozen in time but there wasn't anything on the scale of the 20th century movements in terms of radicalization.
