- Description
- Illustrated collection of essays on the history of women's rights work in the UK, from early campaigns through the present day. Based on personal diaries, banners and protest fashion as well as literature, film, music, and art around the themes of body, mind and voice, contributors reveal how activists have fought for equality. They examine among other issues gender fluidity, representation, black women's educational access, the right to sexual pleasure and the underlying imperialism of early feminism.
