The best single account of interwar feminism....A book of major importance which adds considerably to our understanding of feminism and of the political history of interwar Britain. --Albion<br> Thoughtful, detailed, and carefully argued....This important book will be essential to all subsequent studies of twentieth-century British feminism. --Oral History Review<br> Will fascinate anyone with a modicum of interest in human psychology, parliamentary and extraparliamentary political tactics, British history, or feminism....This is a remarkably successful, collective portrait of British feminist political activists and one that illuminates several areas of social and political history on the way. --Perspective<br> The first major work on British interwar feminism to appear in many years....The era is...a significant one, and Harrison makes a substantial contribution to its understanding. --Choice<br>

'Brian Harrison has produced an enjoyable and instructive book. It is academic history at its best.' Independent 'Harrison's elegantly written book provides a rich and challenging source of new biographical material' Times Literary Supplement 'Harrison's conclusion is often stimulating and offers some searching questions ... on the nature of women's political involvement. ... this is a scholarly, liberal-minded but deeply traditional work' Dorothy Zaborszky, Laurentian University. RFR/DRF 'this book is exemplary in its use of oral sources: Harrison has spent an enormous amount of time patiently collecting useful information from his subjects, or those who knew them; but he never overrates the significance of this material, and always integrates it closely with all the other available source materials"" Arthur Marwick, The Open University, The English Historical Review, January 1991
