Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of the Women's Movement is the whole history of the nineteenth century. Nothing which occurred in those years could be irrelevant to the great social change which was going on." In this famous work, Ray Strachey records in rich detail women's struggles for personal, legal, political and social liberties from the late eighteenth century until after the First World War. It is a balanced and immensely readable record both of human character and collective determination - from the awakenings of individual women to their own uselessness, through the growth of Radicalism and philanthropy to the decade after the vote was won. Considered one of the great historians of the women's movement, Ray Strachey draws remarkable portraits of the personalities involved - Harriet Taylor, John Stuart Mill, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Millicent Fawcett, Josephine Butler - and many, many others. Today, for a new generation wondering how the struggle began, Ray Strachey's panoramic book provides the only complete account of a great cause - the emancipation of women. Her daughter, Barbara Strachey, writer and former BBC producer, provides a new preface to this edition. Ray Strachey (1887-1940) was born into a distinguished American Quaker family. Deeply committed to the Suffrage Movement, a close friend and colleague of the Suffragist leader Millicent Fawcett, she took part in the fight for the vote during the critical years. She was one of the first women to stand for Parliament after the vote was won and became political adviser to Lady Astor, the first women MP. Editor of the Suffragist newspaper The Common Cause, she was deeply committed to the advancement of women, serving on many committees and organizations, and founding the Women's Employment Federation. A prolific writer and broadcaster, she wrote numerous articles, pamphlets and books, including a notable biography of Millicent Fawcett.

Book excerpt: This concise and accessible book explores the history of gender in England between 1500 and 1700.

Download or read book European Feminisms 1700 1950 written by Karen M. Offen and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious book explores challenges to male hegemony throughout continental Europe over the past 250 years. For general readers and those interested primarily in the historical record, it provides a comprehensive, comparative account of feminist developments in European societies, as well as a rereading of European history from a feminist perspective. By placing gender, or relations between women and men, at the center of European politics, it aims to reconfigure our understanding of the European past and to make visible a long but neglected tradition of feminist thought and politics. On another level the book seeks to disentangle some misperceptions and to demystify some confusing contemporary debates about the Enlightenment, reason, nature, and public vs. private, equality vs. difference. In the process, the author aims to show that gender is not merely 'a useful category of analysis', but that sexual difference lies at the heart of human thought and politics.
Download or read book The Feminine Mystique written by Betty Friedan and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 2010 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Betty Friedan produced The Feminine Mystique in 1963, she could not have realized how the discovery and debate of her contemporaries' general malaise would shake up society. Victims of a false belief system, these women were following strict social convention by loyally conforming to the pretty image of the magazines, and found themselves forced to seek meaning in their lives only through a family and a home. Friedan's controversial book about these women - and every woman - would ultimately set Second Wave feminism in motion and begin the battle for equality. This groundbreaking and life-changing work remains just as powerful, important and true as it was forty-five years ago, and is essential reading both as a historical document and as a study of women living in a man's world. 'One of the most influential nonfiction books of the twentieth century.' New York Times 'Feminism ...... began with the work of a single person: Friedan.' Nicholas Lemann With a new Introduction by Lionel Shriver

Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "Women's Suffrage: The Short History of a Great Movement" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "Women's Suffrage: History of a Great Movement", by Millicent Garrett Fawcett compares the tactics of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies in the United States of America and the Women's Social and Political Union in the UK. The NUWSS and the WSPU between 1905 and 1911 adopted different election policies. Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett (1847 –1929) was a British feminist, intellectual, political and union leader, and writer. She is primarily known for her work as a campaigner for women to have the vote. As a suffragist (as opposed to a suffragette), she took a moderate line, but was a tireless campaigner. She concentrated much of her energy on the struggle to improve women's opportunities for higher education and in 1875 co-founded Newnham College, Cambridge. Contents: The Beginnings Women's Suffrage Question in Parliament—first Stage Throwing the Women Overboard in 1884 Women's Suffrage in Greater Britain The Anti-suffragists The Militant Societies Recent Developments A Brief Review of the Women's Suffrage Movement Since Its Beginning in 1832
Download or read book Women and the Women s Movement in Britain 1914 1959 written by Martin Pugh and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book provides a comprehensive and well documented political history of women and the women's movement in the period under examination, drawing on evidence from a wide range of sources and analysing the complex inter-relationship between the organized women's movement, the majority of women outside the official women's movement, and the male political establishment in Britain.' A. Brown, University of Edinburgh, political Studies, Vol. XL1, No 2, 6/93. Using the widest range of evidence, from the political feminist pressure groups to popular women's magazines, this book provides a challenging and original analysis of the adaptation of the women's movement in Britain in the period between the winning of the vote and the late 1950's. It examines how women successfully worked with the grain of change in the political system; but it also considers the nature of the long-term decline of the organised movement.
