- Description
- The story of the world's earliest international feminist movement as a champion of women's rights in the United States, Britain, France and Germany. At the height of the Victorian period, early feminists united to fight for the cause of women, called for a new kind of marriage based on companionship, claimed the right to divorce and to get custody of their children. They rejected the traditional view that women's subordination was preordained, natural, and universal.
