This overview of women and politics broadens the definition of political action and raises some core arguments and ideas that will stimulate discussion. Sue Johnson, University of Worcester

Krista Cowmans highly approachable account offers the first examination of womens political activity in Britain to span the period from the Glorious Revolution to the election of the first female prime minister. Cowman shows how women had worked in a variety of locations and organisations in the decades before the suffrage campaign, and that womens politics did not begin with the demand for a parliamentary vote. The volume also demonstrates how womens political activity continued after equal suffrage in 1928 in a number of directions within and beyond Parliament.

Key topics include:

court politics in the age of Queen Mary and Queen Anne

Victorian pressure group politics

suffrage campaigns from 1867 to 1928

the Womens Liberation Movement.

Clear and wide-ranging, this is an essential book for anyone with an interest in the history of British womens involvement with politics over nearly 300 years.

Krista Cowman is Professor of History at the University of Lincoln. She has published widely on the history of womens suffrage and on women in politics before the First World War.
