Traditional analyses of nineteenth-century politics have assigned
women a peripheral role. By adopting a broader interpretation of
political participation, the author identifies how middle-class
women were able to contribute to political affairs in the
nineteenth century. Examining the contribution that women made to
British political life in the period 1800-1870 stimulates debates
about gender and politics, the nature of authority and the
definition of political culture. This volume examines female
engagement in both traditional and unconventional political arenas,
including female sociability, salons, child-rearing and education,
health, consumption, religious reform and nationalism. Richardson
focuses on middle-class women's social, cultural, intellectual and
political authority, as implemented by a range of public figures
and lesser-known campaigners. The activists discussed and their
varying political, economic and religious backgrounds will
demonstrate the significance of female interventions in shaping the
political culture of the period and beyond.
