Description
"This is a woman-centred history of Britain from the suffragettes to the 'Diana effect' and is the first text devoted exclusively to women in Britain since 1900 which covers the whole century.". "Each chronological chapter maps out developments for women at work, women in the family, sexuality, education, feminism and other political movements. These general themes are vividly brought to life by the use of personal testimony, illustrating the effects of social and political change on individual women's lives. Each chapter also provides an understanding of the progress of the feminist movement for that particular period. Twentieth-century women are shown to be agents of social change in their own right, rather than passive victims of circumstance. The book offers an account of women's shifting identity within different social, economic and political contexts, divided by factors such as class, sexuality and ethnic background."--BOOK JACKET.
