This groundbreaking history of Victorian politics, feminism and
parliamentary reform challenges traditional assumptions about the
development of British democracy and the struggle for women's
rights and demonstrates how political activity has been shaped by
changes in the history of masculinity. From the second half of the
nineteenth century, Britain's all-male parliament began to
transform the legal position of women as it reformed laws that had
upheld male authority for centuries. To explain these revolutionary
changes, Ben Griffin looks beyond the actions of the women's
movement alone and shows how the behaviour and ideologies of male
politicians were fundamentally shaped by their gender. He argues
that changes to women's rights were the result not simply of
changing ideas about women but also of changing beliefs about
masculinity, religion and the nature of the constitution, and, in
doing so, demonstrates how gender inequality can be created and
reproduced by the state.
