Dreamers of a new day; women who invented the twentieth century
Product features
From the 1880s to the 1920s, a profound social awakening among women extended the possibilities of change far beyond the struggle for the vote. In the process, they challenged ideas about sexuality, mothering, housework, the economy and citizenship. Forming broad coalitions and movements with strong transatlantic links, both radicals and reformers were overturning assumptions about everyday life - long before it came to be theorized in the 1960s. Drawing on research, Sheila Rowbotham has written a new history that shows how women created much of the fabric of modern life.
