From the 1880s to the 1920s, a profound social awakening among
women extended the possibilities of change far beyond the struggle
for the vote. Amid the growth of globalized trade, mass production,
immigration and urban slums, American and British women broke with
custom and prejudice. Taking off corsets, forming free unions,
living communally, buying ethically, joining trade unions, doing
social work in settlements, these "dreamers of a new day"
challenged ideas about sexuality, mothering, housework, the economy
and citizenship. Drawing on a wealth of research, Sheila Rowbotham
has written a groundbreaking new history that shows how women
created much of the fabric of modern life. These innovative
dreamers raised questions that remain at the forefront of our
twenty-first-century lives.
