- Description
- This book looks at the impact of war on women in Britain. It shows how conflict has changed women’s lives and how those changes have put women at the centre of peace campaigning. Lindsey German shows how women have played a central role in anti-war and peace movements, including the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The women themselves talk about how they overcame prejudice and difficulty to become active. The book looks at how the changing nature of war, especially the involvement of civilians, increasingly involves significant numbers of women. As well as providing an inspiring account of women's opposition to war, the book also tackles key contemporary developments, challenging negative assumptions about Muslim women and showing how anti-war movements are feeding into a broader desire to change society.

- Description
- Drawing on a vast range of recent scholarship, as well as hitherto unpublished archival research, this book analyses the variety of messages about sexuality interacting at specific historical moments. Hall discusses a range of cases, for example, the 'massage parlours' furore of the 1890s, and lesser-known sex reformers such as Stella Browne and George Ives. However, notorious scandals, such as the trial of Oscar Wilde and the prosecution of Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness, famous figures such as Havelock Ellis and Marie Stopes, and the well-known liberalizing Acts of Parliament of the late 1960s are not neglected.

- Description
- The first World War deprived Britain of three-quarters of a million soldiers, so in 1919 a generation of women who wanted to get married discovered that there were not enough men to go round: ‘The surplus women’. Tracing their fates, this book shows how the single woman of the inter-war decades had to stop depending on men for her income, her identity and her happiness.
