- Description
- This book examines the history of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, from 1832 onwards. In particular, this collection pays attention to the issues of class and Empire which shaped this era. It demonstrates how campaigns for women’s rights were consciously and unconsciously played out, impacting attitudes to motherhood, motivating the radical “birth-strike” movement and flourishing communist sympathies in working-class communities around Britain and beyond.
