This is the first text devoted exclusively to women in Britain
since 1900 which covers the whole century. The author combines
evidence from primary research, with an emphasis on personal
testimony, with the most up-to-date work of specialist scholars in
each field. Embracing social, economic, political and cultural
history, it examines the changing meaning of femininity within the
broad historical time periods making up the twentieth century. Each
chronological chapter maps out developments for women at work, in
the family, sexuality, education, feminism and other political
movements. It does not seek to provide a triumphalist history of
'great women', but instead offers an account of women's shifting
identity within different social, economic and political contexts,
divided by class, sexuality, ethnic background and other factors.
Blending analysis with humour and emotion in real life testimony,
Women in Britain since 1900 is a woman-centred history of Britain
from the suffragettes to the 'Diana effect'.
