Quotes
- “Trust a girl of sixteen for knowing well if she is pretty; concerning her plainness she may be ignorant.”
- “Were all men equal to-night, some would get the start by rising an hour earlier to-morrow.”
- “A wise parent humours the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and adviser when his absolute rule shall cease.”
- “That kind of patriotism which consists in hating all other nations.”
- “It is odd enough to see how the entrance of a person of the opposite sex into an assemblage of either men or women calms down the little discordances and the disturbance of mood.”
- “I daresay it seems foolish; perhaps all our earthly trials will appear foolish to us after a while; perhaps they seem so now to angels. But we are ourselves, you know, and this is now, not some time to come, a long, long way off. And we are not angels, to be comforted by seeing the ends for which everything is sent.”

Her novels offer detailed studies of Victorian society, including the lives of the very poor. Her first novel, Mary Barton, was published in 1848.
