Description
This dictionary is a compilation of 500 different women's organizations from the early 1800s to the early 1960s. These organizations ranged from women abolitionists and Chartists to social workers, nurses, suffragists, and sexual reformers. The dictionary is a valuable resource for historians and researchers interested in women's history.
This dictionary is the first attempt to identify systematically the large heterogeneous group of women's organisations that grew up from the early 19th century up to the beginning of the modern women's movement, from women abolitionists and Chartists through Social workers, nurses, suffragists and sexual reformers to women pilots, journalists and cricketers. The work brings together over 500 separate entities on a wide variety of societies, associations, clubs, unions and other professional, social and political bodies organised by women or for men.
