Real Men' and Anti-Feminism
The important part played by men in the history of British feminism, particularly in the nineteenth-century struggle for women’s rights, has long been recognized. As Olive Banks pointed out some decades ago, a common feature among Victorian feminist activists was the presence of supportive fathers who encouraged their daughters to seek education, and to pursue goals that challenged the limits imposed on them as women.1 Husbands mattered too, ofte…
Letters between Mothers and Daughters
In recent years scholars from many different disciplines have turned their attention to letters, pointing out that they are not only important as sources of information and ways to enable families
From 'Dearest Mama' to 'Dear Mother
In this article, the author looks at two sets of letters sent home to mothers by travelling daughters in the early twentieth century. Both sets of letters come from the Strachey family: one from Philippa Strachey written during the visit she made to India in 1901, the other from her niece, Elinor Rendel, during the period she spent with the Scottish Women's Hospital on the Eastern Front in the First World War. But the letters come from two differ…

The making of Catherine Cookson's autobiography
Catherine Cookson's Our Kate, is undoubtedly one of the most widely read English language autobiographies ever written. It is loved by her fans and has also been drawn on quite frequently by historians seeking details of early-twentieth-century life amongst the very poor, and especially by those concerned with the fate of illegitimate children. The production of this work was complicated and lengthy, however. It took Cookson twelve years to write…

Writing Cosmopolitan Lives
The idea of cosmopolitanism continues to attract many scholars concerned with the mutual responsibilities of an increasingly global world. But there is no agreed definition of cosmopolitanism, and indeed some difference of opinion about the relative importance of ideas about world citizenship, on the one hand, and of questions about culture and identity, on the other. One of the theorists who attaches most importance to the ethical and aesthetic …

A South African Revolutionary, but a Lady of the British Empire
This article explores the life, and the political activity, of anti-apartheid activist Helen Joseph. Largely ignored since her death in 1992, Joseph was a leading figure in the struggle against apartheid from the early 1950s until 1962 when she became the first person placed under house arrest in South Africa under the Sabotage Act. Beginning with a discussion of the way in which Joseph presented her political life in her autobiographical writing…
Bloomsbury Masculinity and its Victorian Antecedents
This article questions the extent to which the form of masculine subjectivity often associated with the men of Bloomsbury was distinctive and represented some kind of sharp break with that of an older generation. Their expectations of persistent gender advantage, and their continuing calls upon the services of mothers, sisters and female friends, suggest that a rejection of “Victorian” masculinity did not, in and of itself, disrupt the privileges…
Masculinity, Emotion and Subjectivity
This introduction summarizes the key themes raised in a symposium on masculinity, emotion and subjectivity at Monash University in 2006. These include ways of writing about the lived experience of masculinity in the past as well as the present, especially in terms of how men understand and use the “scripts” that prescribe and describe manliness, and questions of sources and approaches for the study of masculinity as a performance
Books
This book makes me wonder why Australian \nhistorians have so readily agreed to \na history that starts at 1788. Perhaps the \nFirst Fleet's entertaining publishing enterprises \nhave been too seductive. Whereas \nhistorians may doubt that it is possible \nto write history without archival word \nmiddens, archaeologists doubt that one \ncan write without material discoveries. \nSources and methodological expertise \nhave created a major chasm bet…
Stefan Collini, Virginia Woolf, and the Question of Intellectuals in Britain
This essay raises the question of gender in relation to the question of intellectuals in Britain, commenting on the gender blindness that made their exclusion so automatic in Collini's study. It looks at some women who might have been included, focussing particularly on Virginia Woolf as one who was not only a very significant public intellectual, but who in her essays entitled 'The Common Reader' also provided a definition and analysis of the ro…
Prisons as Spaces of Friendships in Apartheid South Africa
This article explores the importance of friendship in enabling people to survive the appalling conditions of imprisonment in South Africa under the apartheid regime. It argues that, despite their concern to isolate people in prisons, the regime ultimately fostered important social links within them. The bonds established between prisoners on Robben Island are well known, but the article looks again both at the gift for and the approach to friends…

This article explores the importance and meaning of feminism within one prominent British family across two generations, spanning the later nineteenth and the twentieth centuries.

Focusing on the yo…

The framework of motherhood raises interesting and important questions for feminist biography and for the history of feminism. Representations of motherhood have played an important part in defining particular kinds of feminism.

Feminist biography and feminist history
This article seeks to explore the relationship between biography and the many new developments evident in feminist history. Taking as its particular focus the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century English feminism, it looks at the divergence between an approach to biography which assumes it to be concerned with the lives of exceptional individuals and an interest in the history of feminism which has ceased to regard it as being the story o…

Unbridling the Tongues of Women
Unbridling the tongues of womenOnce launched in the 1870s, Miss Spence won acclaim and affection for her 'rare gifts of speech and intellect'.At home in Adelaide, a reporter was to praise a sermon he heard her deliver, approving her slight Scots accent, her clear, firm voice and her unselfconsciousness.Another observer exclaimed over her speech to a public meeting: 'Does not Miss Spence speak well and clearly'.Abroad, too, in 1893-4, she elicited…

Victorian Feminists
This is a study of Victorian feminism which focuses on four leading feminists: Emily Davies, Frances Power Cobbe, Josephine Butler, and Millicent Garrett Fawcett. This approach enables the book to uncover the range, diversity, and complexity of Victorian feminism, and to examine the relationship between personal experience and feminist commitment. The book sets its carefully researched biographical studies of the four women, each with her own fas…
Vida goldstein and the english militant campaign
Although most feminism develops within a national context and draws on particular national myths and beliefs, this article argues that the international dimensions of feminism need also to be recognised. This was particularly so for Australian feminists who, as colonials, had a complex relationship with England. In some ways the early granting of women's suffrage reversed the normal roles between colonies and imperial power, as Australian women o…

Her analysis of feminist organizations, debates, and campaigns shows a keen sense of the relationship between feminist thought and actions, and wider social and cultural change.
