Abstract
This is a study of Victorian feminism which focuses on four leading feminists: Emily Davies, Frances Power Cobbe, Josephine Butler, and Millicent Garrett Fawcett. This approach enables the book to uncover the range, diversity, and complexity of Victorian feminism, and to examine the relationship between personal experience and feminist commitment. The book sets its carefully researched biographical studies of the four women, each with her own fascinating history, in the context of the Victorian feminist movement. It explores the ideas and strategies of feminists in the late 19th century, analysing the tensions which arose as they sought to achieve their aims. In particular, the book traces the complex relationship between party politics and feminist commitment.
