Socialist Women
This fascinating new study examines the experiences of women involved in the socialist movement during its formative years in Britain and the active role they played in campaigning for the vote. By giving full attention to this much-neglected group of women, Socialist Women examines and challenges the orthodox views of labour and suffrage history. Torn between competing loyalties of gender, class and politics, socialist women did not have a fixed identity but a number of contested identities. June Hannam and Karen Hunt probe issues that created divisions between these women, as well as giving them the opportunity to act together. In three fascinating case studies they explore: * women's suffrage * women and internationalism * the politics of consumption. Believing above all that being a woman was vital to their politics, these individuals sought to develop a woman-focused theory of socialism and to put this new politics into practice.
Political Future Fiction Vol 2
The Edwardian period was a time of great social and political change. The six texts in this edition are all notable for their imaginative portrayals of the future. This is the only critical edition of these works. Essays and introductory matter explore the themes in the novels, as well as the literary-historical context they appeared in.
Emmeline Pankhurst
Emmeline Pankhurst was perhaps the most influential woman of the twentieth century. This fascinating full-length biography draws upon new approaches to feminist biography to place her within the context of her family and friends.
Feminist Freikorps
This text examines the Women Police Service in Britain. Formed in 1914 by veterans of the militant suffrage campaign, often operating in defiance of the law, it combined authoritarianism and feminist activism to create its own concept.
