| Description: |
Examines women's political involvement from various angles. Attention to neglected aspects of women's political activity, such as religion, European nationalism and lifestyle, enable this study to challenge both the historiography of Georgian and Victorian women and the nature of political history. |
| Synopsis: |
This groundbreaking volume examines women's political involvement from a variety of innovative angles. In addition to exploring literary sources and women's contribution to electoral processes, pressure group politics are examined in depth (including Jewish civil rights and the campaigns against the Corn Laws and Indian widow-burning). The attention to neglected aspects of women's political activity, such as religion, domesticity, European nationalism, empire and life-style enable this book to challenge not only the historiography of Georgian and Victorian women, but also the nature of political history itself. |
