It is an ambitious book which sometimes made me feel overwhelmed with the inclusion of so much history. ...

(lipsticksocialist.wordpress.com, May 9, 2022) This book will, I am sure, become a core textbook for students, researchers, teachers, and general readers interested in twentieth-century British Women's History and Politics. This will be facilitated by Women's Activism in the Twentieth Century having been produced in both paperback and electronic form at a price which is accessible.
