Summary:

In collaboration with the British Library, Gale has digitised a range of nineteenth and twentieth century magazines and journals created both by and for women, which shed light on a range of aspects of women's lives, from work to leisure. These periodicals provide a full and invaluable source for the study of the social and political history of women and their place in society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They cover every aspect of the surge of emancipationist activities between the passing of the Married Women's Property Act in 1870 and the gaining of full, universal suffrage in 1928, and also cover women's activism beyond suffrage - including anarchism, pacifism, reproductive rights and abolitionism. Offering an excellent insight into the attitudes and standpoints of a wide variety of women, from suffragettes and philanthropists to working women and the ladies of high society, this material challenges historians and social scientists to understand the complexities of moral and social attitudes to women, as well as providing a deeper insight, in women's own voices, into a range of political viewpoints on topics such as education, work, religion, temperance and social reform.
