Covering the period from the beginning of the twentieth century to
the outbreak of the First World War, this entertaining account
describes the lives of women in all classes of society: the
entertainments they watched, the clothes they wore, their education
and the effect it had on women's magazines, the work they did and
the rise of the 'office' as the Mecca for working women. The author
also considers the changing attitudes to contraception and sex.
This period, particularly its latter part, saw the rejection of old
leaders and old habits. In politics, in the trade unions, and
especially in the women's movement, the refusal of a so-called
reforming government to accede to moderate demands resulted in the
rise to power of militants. While primarily about Britain the book
also studies women in Germany, France and the United States,
offering a particularly revealing account of the stories of women,
famous and not, with a lucid, readable outline of the society in
which they lived and the social changes that affected their lives
and to which they themselves contributed.
