Women's history
Britain witnessed huge changes between 1700 and 1850, as society adapted to unrecedented urbanization, commercialization, industrialization, imperial expansion and much more. this volume looks specifically at British women's experiences in the context of these major social, economic and cultural shifts. The chapters speak not of one overarching female historical experience, but of many experiences, of significant long-term continuities and of complex developments and changes. They speak, in particular, of tensions and opportunities, as notions of women and their place in society were examined and debated, and boundaries were extended or redrawn.

Teaching British women writers 1750-1900
Collectively, these essays argue that teaching noncanonical women writers invigorates the curriculum as a whole, not only by introducing the voices of women writers, but by incorporating new genres, by asking new questions about readers' assumptions and aesthetic values, and by altering the power relations between teacher and student for the better.

A vindication of the rights of woman
This edition features an annotated abridgment of Mary Wollstonecraft's 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' (1792) accompanied by an array of texts that help situate this publication in its political, historical, and intellectual contexts. Included are key selections from Wollstonecraft's other writings: from closely related works by Burke, Paine, Godwin, Rousseau, Macaulay, Talleyrand, and Brockden Brown: and from the 1789 'Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen' and de Gouges' 'Declaration of the Rights of Woman and Female Citizen' (1791).
