Political women : fifteen campaigns that shaped twenty-first-century Britain

Andrews, Maggie2024
Books
The lives of women changed immeasurably during the twentieth century, not just because of technological and economic advances, but as a result of a multiplicity of small and large, local, national and international political campaigns by women. This book focuses on lesser-known endeavours and the thousands of women who sought to influence decision making and exercise and challenge power in the twentieth century. These political activities were sometimes small-scale and short-lived or seemingly unsuccessful, but together they helped to bring about immeasurable changes in women's lives during the twentieth century.
