This groundbreaking volume examines women''s political involvement from a variety of innovative angles. In addition to exploring literary sources and women''s contribution to electoral processes, pressure group politics are examined in depth (including Jewish civil rights and the campaigns against the Corn Laws and Indian widow-burning).
