The French Revolution opened a whole new stage in the history of
women, despite their conspicuous absence from the playbill. The
coming century would see women's subordination to men codified in
all manner of new laws and rules; and yet the period would also
witness the birth of feminism, the unprecedented emergence of women
as a collective force in the political arena. The fourth volume in
this world-acclaimed series covers the distance between these two
poles, between the French Revolution and World War I. It gives us a
vibrant picture of a bourgeois century, dynamic and expansive, in
which the role of woman in the home was stressed more and more,
even as the economic pressures and opportunities of the industrial
revolution drew her out of the house; in which woman's growing role
in the family as the center of all morals and virtues pressed her
into public service to fight social ills.
