Viac o knihe

Steinbach (history, Hamline U.) finds the women of England in the "long nineteenth century" were generally not fragile flowers of femininity or perpetual victims; in fact, they practiced contraception, ran family enterprises, businesses and nations, supported their places of worship and provided relief to those oppressed by racism and poverty, besides stating their personal beliefs on equal rights, including the vote. Making good use of primary sources, this study explores what women did and said in their roles as exemplars of working-class, middle-class and elite femininity; how they handled issues of sexuality and religion; how they were educated; and how they served in the politics of the nation.
