The Political Worlds of Women: Gender and Politics in Nineteenth Century Britain

By Sarah Richardson

This volume examines female engagement in both traditional and unconventional political arenas in nineteenth-century Britain, including female sociability, salons, child-rearing and education, health, consumption, religious reform and nationalism. Richardson focuses on middle-class women's social, cultural, intellectual and political authority, as implemented by a range of public figures and lesser-known campaigners.
