Women, Privilege, and Power British Politics, 1750 to the Present

"This is an important attempt to extend the history of women beyond conventional and heroic success stories. In place of the progressive march towards suffrage and feminism, the authors invoke a broader and more sophisticated context by examining the meaning of 'politics'. To do that, the authors follow three trends: the relation between power and privilege, the shifting boundaries between public and private spheres, and the meaning of female citizenship." Reba Soffer, California State University, Northridge "[An] excellent edited collection . . . The volume has an impressive thematic, chronological, and theoretical coherence. . . . The Collection makes important contributions not simply to our understanding of British history but to our appreciation of British politics."British Politics Group NewsletterVickery, Amanda is the author of 'Women, Privilege, and Power British Politics, 1750 to the Present', published 2001 under ISBN 9780804742849 and ISBN 0804742847.
