This book tells the compelling and revealing story of the women's
movement in modern Wales. Its panoramic sweep takes the reader on a
journey from the nineteenth-century campaigns in support of
democracy and the right to vote, and in opposition to slavery,
through to the construction of the labour movement in the twentieth
century, and on to the more recent demands for sexual liberation
and LGBTQ+ rights. At its core is the argument that the Welsh
women's movement was committed to social democracy, rather than to
liberal or conservative alternatives, and that material conditions
were the central motivation of those women involved. Drawing on an
array of sources, some of which appear in print for the first time,
this is a vivid portrait of women who, out of a struggle for
equality, individually and collectively, became political
activists, grassroots journalists, members of councils and
parliaments, and inspirational community leaders.
