This interdisciplinary collection explores the relationships
between women and built space in England between the 1870s and the
1940s. Historians working in cultural, literary, architectural,
urban, design, labour, and social history approach the topic
through case studies of often neglected organisations, individuals,
practices and initiatives. Included are East End rent collectors,
tenants, diarists and correspondents, the All-Europe House, the
Women's Co-operative Guild, the Housewives Committee of the Council
of Industrial Design, provincial and metropolitan exhibitors, and
activists of varying kinds. Moving beyond the study of buildings
and their designers, the volume considers the making of space in
its broadest sense, from the production of discourses to the
consumption of domestic appliances and the performance of roles as
diverse as social reformers, committee members and homemakers. It
thereby demonstrates that women made a significant contribution to
the creation of modern built environments in both public and
private spheres.
