Women and Belief, 1852–1928


The final volume of Women and Belief, 1852–1928 takes us firmly into the twentieth century. The texts collected here were written and published during a key period of feminist activity, legislative change and international conflict, including the militant activism of the Nation Union of Women’s Suffrage (NUWS), the founding of church-based groups campaigning for women’s suffrage, the First World War, the 1918 Qualification of Women Act and, eventually, the Equal Franchise Act in 1928.
