| Summary |
"Although the number of biographical reference works on women is increasing, much still remains to be done to provide gender equality in this field of research. Women, a Modern Political Dictionary is a major contribution towards such equality and provides an essential tool in furthering the research and study of women's history, illuminating more of those women 'hidden from history'. Striking biographical sketches introduce us to those women involved in the Women's Movement, from the First World War through to the Women's Liberation Movement, on a regional, national and international level."--BOOK JACKET |
