- Description
- This book examines the political influence of the leading Tory hostesses, the Marchionesses of Londonderry. From 1800-1959, these women were patrons and confidantes to key figures in the Anglo-Irish political establishment and, by the late 19th century, they were also exploiting more public avenues of political work: canvassing, addressing meetings and leading the new associations established in an attempt to educate a mass electorate. Their political influence changed with increasing democracy and the associated process of aristocratic decline. Central to the book is a depiction of the lives of three of the Marchionesses.

- Description
- In this novel the author writes about how men and women manage to live side by side in the world, and how the troublesome particulars of gender affect every aspect of our existence. An exploration of what a primitive, all-female world might have been like - inhabited by lazy, communal, porpoise-like creatures - and of the chaos that ensues when they start, unaccountably, giving birth to boys.

- Description
- This catalogue examines the impact of modernism on the work of three women artists - Vanessa Bell (b. 1879), Gwen John (b. 1876) and Laura Knight (b. 1877) - whose training and early artistic careers were rooted in the Victorian tradition. At the turn of the century an important question was how British art negotiated the challenge posed by Post-Impressionism, abstraction, significant form and the demise of narrative. The book casts a new light on women's participation in this question. It ranges the three women artists alongside each other to examine and compare their development, their work and the positions they took on the question of modernity and modernism in the crucial years of their careers between 1890 and 1920.

- Description
- The authors offer a look at the debate about single-sex teaching, presenting insights from research about the consequences of gender division in schools. Drawing on classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students, the book illustrates the effect of single-sex classrooms on learners and on the versions of subject knowledge made available to them. In exploring the differences in teaching practices between boys’ and girls’ classrooms, in relation to subjects such as science, english, drama and technology, the authors show how single-sex teaching can create circumstances which limit rather than open up students’ access to subject knowledge. The authors offer tools for investigating the knowledge-gender dynamic, advocating that learning will expand if teachers work with gender to help students to cross boundaries into non-traditional gender territories within subject lessons.
