Sex and Suffrage in Britain, 1860-1914

The book explores the suffrage movement as a multifaceted struggle beyond mere political rights, highlighting the social and cultural implications of women's activism. It delves into the alliances formed between middle-class women and marginalized groups, critiques of marriage, and a skepticism towards the medical establishment. By incorporating Michel Foucault's theories, the author argues that feminists aimed for a comprehensive transformation of women's lives, facing significant opposition and risking personal safety in their quest for equality.
