Infidel feminism is the first in-depth study of a distinctive brand
of women's rights that emerged out of the Victorian Secularist
movement. It looks at the lives and work of a number of female
activists, whose renunciation of religion shaped their struggle for
emancipation. Anti-religious or secular ideas were fundamental to
the development of feminist thought, but have, until now, been
almost entirely passed over in the historiography of the Victorian
and Edwardian women's movement. In uncovering an important
tradition of Freethinking feminism, this book reveals an ongoing
radical and free love current connecting Owenite feminism with the
more 'respectable' post-1850 women's movement and the 'New Women'
of the early twentieth century. This book, newly available in
paperback, will be invaluable to both scholars and students of
social and cultural history and feminist thought, and to
interdisciplinary studies of religion and secularisation, as well
as those interested in the history of women's movements more
broadly. -- .
