Opis

Admirable, lucid A splendid textbook (complete with chronologies of significant dates) that offers a competent overview of feminist protest in the Victorian era. It will be widely recommended for students of history and women s studies courses in higher education. -- Times Higher Education Supplement An excellent, well-researched survey of the many fronts of feminist struggle for equality from 1850 to 1900 The thesis of this small useful book is that the aggressive activities of the well-known British suffragettes have obscured the significance of other areas of the feminist movement in the half-century before 1900. Philippa Levine s survey of Victorian feminism covers these neglected issues succinctly A great asset to all courses on modern England and British feminism. -- American Historical Review"
