The Politics of British Feminism traces the history of the womens
movement from the achievement of suffrage in 1918 to the revival of
feminism in the late 1960s. Offering new insights into a neglected
period of womens history, Olive Banks seeks to place the womens
movement in its wider context while exploring the nature of
anti-feminism, as well as feminism, over half a century of
turbulent history. Centring on the campaigns fought by different
sections of the women's movement between 1918 and 1970, the book
examines in turn autonomous feminist groups, women in the labour
movement, and female MPs. The co-operation and conflict between
these three groups is explored in detail. The second part examines
the campaigns these groups fought, including attempts to secure
equal pay, and analyses the reasons for their successes and
failures. The unwillingness of the main political parties to
sympathize with the goals of the women's movement is carefully
assessed. Providing an authoritative overview of a previously
neglected period, The Politics of British Feminism, 1918-1970 will
be welcomed by students and teachers of women's history, as well as
interested historians, sociologists and political scientists.
