What happened in women's history after the vote was won? Was the
suffragette spirit quashed by the advent of the First World War,
and due to the achievement of women's partial (1918) and then equal
(1928) suffrage thereafter, by having to wait to be reclaimed by
the Women's Liberation Movement only in the late 1960s? This
collection explores how individual feminists and the feminist
movement as a whole responded to the achievement of the central
goal of votes for women. For many, the post-suffrage years were
anti-climactic, and there is no disputing that the movement was in
numerical decline, struggling to appeal to a younger generation of
women who knew nothing of the sacrifices that had been made to
secure their citizenship rights and new freedoms. However,
feminists went in new and different directions, identifying
pressing issues from pacifism to religious reform, from local
activism to party politics. Women also organised around causes that
were not explicitly feminist or were even anti-feminist, and this
book makes the important distinction between women in politics and
women's feminist activism. The range of feminist activism in the
aftermath of suffrage speaks for the successes and mainstreaming of
feminism, and contributors to this volume contest the narrative of
a terminal feminist decline between the wars. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Women's History Review.
