The volume also demonstrates how women's political activity continued after the achievement of equal suffrage in 1928 in a number of directions within and beyond Parliament. Key topics include: Court politics in the age of Queene Mary and Queen Anne Victorian 'pressure group' politics suffrage campaigns from 1867 to 1928 the Women's Liberation Movement A survey examining some of the areas of women's political activity in Britain from the period of the Glorious Revolution to the election of the first female prime minister.
