Offering new insights into a neglected period of womens history, Olive Banks seeks to place the womens movement in its wider context while exploring the nature of anti-feminism, as well as feminism, over half a century of turbulent history.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentring on the campaigns fought by different sections of the women’s movement between 1918 and 1970, the book examines in turn autonomous feminist groups, women in the labour movement, and female MPs. The co-operation and conflict between these three groups is explored in detail. The second part examines the campaigns these groups fought, including attempts to secure equal pay, and analyses the reasons for their successes and failures. The unwillingness of the main political parties to sympathize with the goals of the women’s movement is carefully assessed.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding an authoritative overview of a previously neglected period, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of British Feminism, 1918-1970\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed by students and teachers of women’s history, as well as interested historians, sociologists and political scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e’It provides a useful overview of a period in the women’s movement which is increasingly attracting interest.’\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- David Doughan, \u003ci\u003eFawcett Library Newsletter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- ’This is a very useful guide to the current state of research on British Feminism from 1918 to 1970.’- Harold L.
