"From the late 1920s women dominated the British electorate. This book tackles many of the questions arising out of women's success in winning the vote in 1918. Did women capitalise on their new status by influencing British politics? Did feminism change its strategy or its objectives after the First World War? Why did the movement appear to enter a long decline from the 1930s to the 1950s? This new edition extends the topic with an examination of the emergence of Women's Liberation in the 1960s and 1970s, and of how feminism fared under Thatcher."--BOOK JACKET.
