| Summary: | This book serves as an introduction to the extraordinary diversity of womens activism. Paula Bartley's original research is supported by a range of writing to provide a powerful impression of the actions taken by groups of women from across the social and political spectrum, making the book invaluable to both students and interested readers. These women set out to make a difference to their locality, their country and sometimes the world. The story of womens activism embodies stimulating accounts of progress and reversals, of commitment and uncertainty, of competing rights and challenging wrongs. The story of womens activism is not tidy or well-ordered. It is messy and unorthodox. And full of surprises. |
