Description
This book focuses on the often forgotten legal landmarks that benefited, or aimed to benefit, women in England and Wales between 1918 and 1938.
Bringing together 30 academics and scholars, the book considers the work done by feminist activists in the interwar years, to provoke legal reforms and advances impacting every area of life. These included property, family relationships, access to health care, criminal law, employment opportunities, pay, pensions and political representation. The book follows campaigns by key women's organisations, including the Six-Point Group and the Married Women's Association, while assessing the impact of early women lawyers and politicians. While some of the landmarks effected change during this period, others provided the foundation for measures in later decades. Together the landmarks demonstrate that far from being a relatively quiet period of British feminism, the interwar period played a key role in ongoing fights for recognition, representation and justice.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
