| Description: |
The author examines the origins of the women's rights campaign in Britain and argues that it existed in the 1830s and 1840s, contrary to existing historiography which traces its origin to the 1850s. Gleadle demonstrates that this earlier feminist movement grew out of the radical views on women promoted by the Unitarian minister William Johnson Fox. |
| Synopsis: |
This book redefines the origins of the 19th-century women's rights campaigns in Britain, demonstrating that a previously neglected feminist network existed during the 1830s and 1840s. Gleadle demonstrates that these reformers, whom she terms the "radical unitarians", should be understood within the context of the contemporary Unitarian culture. She shows how their desire to transform society and elevate women's position led them to embark upon many campaigns. This work fed directly into the women's rights movement of the subsequent decades. |
