This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100
notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an
absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of
British life.
Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them
in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and
important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included
are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives
of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society
hostesses.
Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of
British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures
who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother,
Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.
