Jo Vellacott (1922-2019)
This appreciation of Jo Vellacott, independent historian and Quaker, draws upon details of her long and adventurous life. It focuses especially on the valuable contribution she made to researching and understanding the life of suffragist Catherine Marshall (1880–1961), the history of democratic suffragists, pacifism, the First World War and modern British history
Women's Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1918-1939
This book recovers and explores a neglected archive of British women’s periodicals and dispels the myths of the supposed demise of feminism and the interwar decades as a retreat to ‘home and duty’ for women in this period. The 1920s and 1930s gave rise to a plurality of new challenges and opportunities for women as consumers, workers, and citizens, as well as wives and mothers. In the process, women produced magazines and periodicals ranging in f…
Women's Periodicals and Print Culture in Britain, 1918-1939
Provides new perspectives on women’s print media in interwar Britain This collection of new essays recovers and explores a neglected archive of women’s print media and dispels the myth of the interwar decades as a retreat to ‘home and duty’ for women. The volume demonstrates that women produced magazines and periodicals ranging in forms and appeal from highbrow to popular, private circulation to mass-market, and radical to reactionary. It shows t…
Politicizing the Home
This article examines the role of feminist periodicals in mobilizing consensus for and against welfare reform measures such as the endowment of motherhood and birth control in the 1920s. It argues that the tendency to characterize the differences between ‘old’ (equalitarian) and ‘new’ (welfare) feminists as a conflict between equality and difference has been reductive and misleading. Both camps aimed to liberate women from the domestic sphere by …
Watching Women's Liberation, 1970
Our Freedom and Its Results
This article draws on compilations and collections of essays published between 1917 and 1936 to examine how suffragists and labour women, active in the movement before the war, measured the impact of enfranchisement and offered public reflections on developments in the women's movement after 1918. The process of retrospective and prospective analysis on the part of activists who continued to campaign in the interwar period runs counter to the nar…

Gutter politics
The article examines the role of the suffrage news-seller in light of the important role official organs came to play for organisations within the movement and the competing claims the act of selling placed on women unaccustomed to venturing into the streets and facing public hostility. The argument draws on evidence from a variety of newspapers, with a particular emphasis on Votes for Women, to demonstrate the extent to which organisations tried…

Le Costume (The Suit) (review)
On its tour of major venues and festivals around the world, Peter Brook's production of Le Costume (The Suit) had its Italian premiere in April at the 8th annual Europe Theatre Prize in Taormina, Sicily. The production was featured as part of a special category called "returns," since Brook was awarded the major prize in 1989. Given that neither Brook, nor the show was receiving an award, the production constituted a special event (the only one t…

Ceely: And it's only half eleven. Kate: It wasn't fair arrestin' her, all she was doing was polishing Tucker's riot gear. Ceely: What do you expect, she was standin out in the middle of the balcony with a can of Pledge and half the British Army lukin up her. Kate: She's never been interrogated before. Ceely: She'll love it. Isn't it getting her out of the house for a couple of hours (SFX of Jeeps and Saracens).1
