Description

A rich and fresh survey of women's lives between George III and the First World WarUsing diaries, letters, memoirs as well as social and statistical research, this book looks at life-expectancy, sex, marriage and childbirth, and work inside and outside the home, for all classes of women.

It charts the poverty and struggles of the working class as well as the leadership roles of middle-class and elite women.

It considers the influence of religion, education, and politics, especially the advent of organised feminism and the suffragette movement.

It looks, too, at the huge role played by women in the British Empire: how imperialism shaped English women's lives and how women also moulded the Empire.
