Historicising the Women’s Liberation Movement in the Western World: 1960-1999
Women’s Activism and ‘Second Wave’ Feminism: Transnational Histories, ed. Barbara Molony and Jennifer Nelson
The mass movement which became known as ‘women’s liberation’ (WLM) burst into life in the USA and Europe in the late 1960s and challenged patriarchal gender relations and the prevailing gender inequalities until well into the 1980s. The WLM was constituted predominantly, but by no means exclusively, by white middle-class women. During the 1980s and 1990s black feminist critiques of the WLM undermined the notion of a universal sisterhood and empha…
Working memory, women and work in world war II
The stated aim of the book is ‘to continue the project of recognising, remembering, and then reremembering again the multiple, contested, and contradictory roles women played in World War II’ (p.xx

Historicising the Women's Liberation Movement
The Women's Liberation Movement of the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s emerged out of a set of economic and social circumstances where women collected together in disparate groups and contexts to express their dissatisfaction with their role and position in society. Through consciousness-raising and activism women raised their voices, profiles and visibility. This important moment of women's history is revisited in this collection of essays, which lo…
Women's Liberation at the Grass Roots: A view from some English towns, c.1968-1990
Historical scholarship on the women's liberation movement (WLM) across the UK is as yet underdeveloped. This article argues against the commonly held assumption that London socialist-feminist accounts speak for England as a whole. This article examines the history of the WLM in England as refracted through a range of different English urban localities, specifically Bristol, Brighton, Norwich, Bolton and Leeds/Bradford. It attempts to show the imp…
The Aftermath of Suffrage, Women, Gender, and Politics in Britain 1918–1945
In their very useful introduction, Richard Toye and Julie V. Gottlieb reinforce recent historiography which has overturned the traditional view that the British feminist movement was in decline fro
Leninism, Stalinism, and the Women's Movement in Britain, 1920-1939
This book offers a detailed examination of the interaction between socialism and feminism through the lens of one particular socialist organisation, the Communist Party of Great Britain, from its foundation in 1920 until the outbreak of the Second World War. The study of socialism and feminism in the CPGB can be divided into four major areas – the party’s concept of socialism and the role of women in a future society; the party’s relationship to …
Consciousness-Raising in Clapham; Women's Liberation as 'Lived Experience' in South London in the 1970s
This article demonstrates the centrality of the small group process, known as consciousness-raising, to the women's liberation movement in 1970s Britain. It argues that by focusing on women's liberation campaigns, demands and conferences too much emphasis has been placed on the ‘public’ face of the movement and insufficient emphasis has been given to the process by which women sought to understand their oppression, redefine themselves and create …
The Love of an Unknown Soldier: A Story of Mystery, Myth and Masculinity in World War I
This article is focused on an anonymous book published in 1918 which purports to be the diary of a dead junior army officer from the Western Front in World War I. The article solves the mystery of the authorship of this book and in doing so discusses questions of masculinity at this time and its connections with contemporary ideologies of gender, race and empire. It highlights the fact that most World War I soldiers supported the war and seeks to…
A New Perspective on Women Workers in the Second World War: The Industrial Diary of Kathleen Church-Bliss and Elsie Whiteman
This article is based on the experiences of two women who gave up a comfortable life in the Surrey countryside to work in an aircraft component factory during the Second World War. Kathleen Church-Bliss and Elsie Whiteman wrote an extensive dairy during their time at Morrison's in Croydon. This article aims to shed light on a hitherto neglected group; the older woman worker, and in particular, the older single woman. The Church-Bliss diary reveal…

Women's History, Oral History and Active Learning: An experience from southern England
This article aims to open up a discussion on teaching methodologies in history and women's studies, particularly in relation to oral history as a form of ‘active learning’.

Gender, class and party: The communist party and the crisis in the cotton industry in England between the two world wars
The strikes in the cotton industry in England between the two world wars constitute a wave of industrial militancy surpassed only by the General Strike. One of the most distinctive characteristics of the industry was the predominance of women workers. Women on the weaving side of the industry were the most well organised group of industrial women in England and enjoyed piece rates which gave them equality with men. The Communist Party had traditi…
