In the early twentieth century the term 'feminist' was used by
self-consciously 'modern' men and women, to distinguish their ideas
from those of 'the women's movement', and even to adopt
anti-suffrage positions. In the first major study of
twentieth-century feminism as an Anglo-American phenomenon, Lucy
Delap offers a unique perspective on the politics of gender during
this period. Delap explores the intellectual history and cultural
politics of Anglo-American feminism in a way that challenges the
reader to rethink the nature of both the 'avant-garde' and
'feminism'. Focusing on the development of transnational feminisms
within Edwardian and interwar print culture, feminist political
argument is placed at the centre of an account of modernism,
highlighting some unexpected and often uncomfortable components,
including the feminist fascination with individualism and egoism;
ambivalence over World War One; utopian thinking and captivation by
the idea of 'the simple life'; anti-Semitism; sexual radicalism;
and ideas about 'the superwoman'.
