This highly readable book constitutes a major piece of original historical research that sheds much light on the under-researched topic of the Women's Liberation Movement and class, and will prove invaluable to both scholars and students of feminism alike. * Natalie Thomlinson, Lecturer of Modern British Cultural History, University of Reading, UK * This is an important book and distinctive contribution to the study of feminist politics, political history and the history of the 1970s in Britain. This is a vibrant and evocative study of the strains of identity and intersectionality within left-progressive politics. More than that its interrogation of the definitions and political applications of the categories of class and gender will be of vital use and interest to scholars across the social sciences. * Lawrence Black, Professor of Modern History, University of York, UK * As so often, the full complexities of a seemingly familiar history emerge from a careful and imaginative dissection of its micro-political dynamics. In this bravely argumentative account of the politics of Women's Liberation in 1970s Britain, George Stevenson delivers exactly such a contribution. * Geoff Eley, Karl Pohrt Distinguished University Professor of Contemporary History, University of Michigan, USA *
