After an extremely successful debut in hardback, Housewives and
citizens is now available in paperback for the first time. This
book explores the contribution that five conservative, voluntary
and popular women's organisations made to women's lives and to the
campaign for women's rights throughout the period 1928-64. The book
challenges existing histories of the women's movement that suggest
the movement went into decline during the inter-war period, only to
be revived by the emergence of the Women's Liberation Movement in
the late 1960s. It is argued that the term 'women's movement' must
be revised to allow a broader understanding of female agency
encompassing feminist, political, religious and conservative
women's groups who campaigned to improve the status of women
throughout the twentieth century. The book provides a radical
re-assessment of this period of women's history and in doing so
makes a significant contribution to ongoing debates about the shape
and impact of the women's movement in twentieth-century Britain. --
