The book No Name is written by Wilkie Collins, published in 1862. It is an amazing heart touching story in which Collins shows the social stigma of Victorian society. Although Collins faced criticism for this writing but now it is considered remarkable for his social insight. By his writing he raise the social issue and make an appeal for those children, considered illegitimate by the society. Collins depicts the two sisters Magdalene Vanstone and Norah Vanstone's fight for social moral justice. He also shows his extreme conviction for women's empowerment. After the miserable death of their parents, they came to know about their misfortunes. The two orphaned sisters faced the ugliness of the society, as they were called illegitimate children. Their inheritance rights were refused by Vanstone family as their parents married after their birth. They were not able to get legal protection so their rightful hesitance was seized by their wicked relatives. Both sisters' opinion is entirely different for their fight. Magdalene decides to get heritance by any means while Norah wants to get it by goodness and fairness. In the end Norah wins the fight .
