‘She looked like hope’
This study explores the psychosocial experiences of Black women in the UK who became mothers following pregnancies conceived through rape. Despite the profound impact of rape-pregnancy, research remains limited, particularly within Black British communities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Black women, and data were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Findings show how participants navigated psychosocial …

Geochemical changes of peat swamp sediments following fire in Southeastern Australia
Retrospective measurements of fire characteristics, such as fire severity, can increase model data input and improve predictions of future fire events. However, existing records of past fire severity are limited to the recent past; therefore, there is a need to develop new proxies that can significantly extend our fire records. Boron isotopes and major element concentrations of the clay-sized fraction of sediments were used to assess fire severit…

Marriage, Collaboration, and the Literary Mass Market in the English-Speaking World, c. 1870–1939
This article offers the first comprehensive history of Anglo-American married couples who co-published together, c. 1870–1939. It departs from the tendency to solely focus on the detrimental impact of marriage on women’s professional lives and the framing of middle-class women as simply either marrying or working as ‘spinsters’ before the Great War. It instead centres couples who together carved out enviable new positions, arguing these endeavour…
The Accuracy and Precision of Small-Sized Modern Wood Samples Analyzed at the Chronos 14 Carbon-Cycle Facility
Tree-ring series offer considerable potential for the development of environment-sensitive proxy records. However, with traditional increment cores, only small amounts of wood are often available from annual tree-ring sequences. For this reason, it is important to understand the reliability (and reproducibility) of radiocarbon measurements obtained from small-sized samples. Here we report the F 14 C results from the Chronos 14 Carbon-Cycle Facili…

Radiocarbon Protocols and First Intercomparison Results From the Chronos 14 Carbon-Cycle Facility, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
The Chronos 14 Carbon-Cycle Facility is a new radiocarbon laboratory at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Built around an Ionplus 200 kV MIni-CArbon DAting System (MICADAS) Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) installed in October 2019, the facility was established to address major challenges in the Earth, Environmental and Archaeological sciences. Here we report an overview of the Chronos facility, the pretreatment methods currently e…
Historical Pageants, Citizenship and the Performance of Women’s History before Second-Wave Feminism
Eve Colpus, Female Philanthropy in the Interwar World
Between Art and Commerce
In art-historical works and social and cultural histories the Arts and Crafts movement is portrayed as an anti-commercial design reform movement that revolved around the workshops of a cadre of elite male 'craftsmen'. But a confluence of elements during this era - developments in print culture; urbanization; mass consumerism; the women's movement; reactions against industrialization; widespread interest in medievalism and domestic crafts - create…

Investigating Subantarctic 14 C Ages of Different Peat Components
Precise radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of sedimentary sequences is important for developing robust chronologies of environmental change, but sampling of suitable components can be challenging in highly dynamic landscapes. Here we investigate radiocarbon determinations of different peat size fractions from six peat sites, representing a range of geomorphological contexts on the South Atlantic subantarctic islands of the Falklands and South Georgia. To…

Global feminisms, c . 1870–1930
This ‘Viewpoint’ assesses some recent approaches to the study of feminisms across the globe during the c. 1870–1930 period. At a moment when historians are working towards the commemoration of women's partial enfranchisement in Britain in 1918, we consider the intellectual frameworks that most effectively celebrate this achievement whilst also situating the Act within its complex, global context. Reflecting on discussions held at a recent worksho…
Duncan Tanner Essay Prize 2016
This article argues that the early twentieth-century craze for historical pageants provided an opportunity for women's groups to bring a nascent, accessible form of women's history into the lives of local communities across Britain. Mainstream historical pageants were organized across the country, depicting selected episodes from the past usually relating to the local area. However, more than 200 inter-war pageants staged by women's organizations…
British Art and the First World War, 1914–1924 By James Fox
This well-written and immersive book is pitched excellently for both a general and academic audience. From the first page—when the reader is flung into the scene of a tense crowd milling on the steps of the National Gallery on the outbreak of war—Fox’s writing is captivating and entertaining, whilst also preserving intellectual rigor and attention to detail. Included are eleven color plates of wartime posters and paintings, alongside a substantia…
Anomalous mid-twentieth century atmospheric circulation change over the South Atlantic compared to the last 6000 years
Determining the timing and impact of anthropogenic climate change in data-sparse regions is a considerable challenge. Arguably, nowhere is this more difficult than the Antarctic Peninsula and the subantarctic South Atlantic where observational records are relatively short but where high rates of warming have been experienced since records began. Here we interrogate recently developed monthly-resolved observational datasets from the Falkland Islan…

This article explores a recently discovered archive, pertaining to the Women's Guild of Arts, in order to deepen understanding of the ways middle-class women, working in the fine and applied arts, constructed artistic identity in London, c.1880–1925. The Women's Guild of Arts was formed as women artists were not allowed to join the Arts and Crafts male-only Art Workers' Guild. Analysis of the Women's Guild of Arts archive, alongside the personal …
