Originally published in 1977, this book brings together what is
known about liberal feminist and socialist movements for the
emancipation of women all over the world in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. It deals not only with Britain and the
United States but also with Australia, New Zealand, France,
Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Scandinavian countries.
The chapters trace the origins, development, and eventual collapse
of these movements in relation to the changing social formations
and political structures of Europe, America and Australasia in the
era of bourgeois liberalism.
The first part of the book discusses the origins of feminist
movements and advances a model or ideal type description of their
development. The second part then takes a number of case studies of
individual feminist movements to illustrate the main varieties of
organised feminism and the differences from country to country. The
third part looks at socialist women s movements and includes a
study of the Socialist Women s International. A final part touches
on the reason for the eclipse of women s emancipation movements in
the half-century following the end of the First World War, before a
general conclusion pulls together some of the arguments advanced in
earlier chapters and attempts a comparison between these feminist
movements of 1840-1920 and the Women s Liberation Movement.
