Based on extensive new research investigating the range of women's
involvement in early nineteenth-century popular politics,
mid-Victorian reform and the women's movements of the late century,
Women and the People makes an original intervention in the
historiography of the radical tradition by exploring the
interconnections of populism, liberalism and feminism. Attending to
authorship, the study argues that the representational forms
adopted by radicals were as important as the content of what they
said in shaping their self-perception, their construction of
others, and the reception of their ideas. In fiction, poetry and
autobiography, as well as in political writing, speeches and
journalism, women reworked radical conventions and imagined new
models of political identity, participation and authority. Though,
in general, radicals appealed to 'the people', women were often
positioned as the suffering objects of reform rather than as the
agents of change. By showing how they challenged or reinforced
these conceptions of 'women' and 'the people', the book contends
that radical women invoked alternative communities of sex, class
and nation, and helped to remake and discipline the political
sphere, as they strove to make it their own.
