Opis

Barbara Caine offers the first complete overview of the history of "modern" English feminism, from the French Revolution through to the advent of Women's Liberation. Her analysis of feminist organizations, debates, and campaigns shows a keen sense of the relationship between feminist thought and actions, and wider social and cultural change. The result is a fascinating study with a new perspective on feminists and feminist traditions which should interest and instruct readers at all levels.

Recenzje

provides a welcome synthesis of a generation of scholarship on feminism as political movement and ideology ... her account highlights a wide variety of individuals, movements, and texts ... for those unfamiliar with the vast literature on English feminism, this is a smart and helpful guide ... Caine's analysis is most innovative where she fills persistent lacunae in historians' accounts of feminism
