HE emancipation of women is one of the most striking aspects of the | industrialist phase of social development. Equally striking is its neglect v in present-day writing. It has neither attracted comprehensive sociological analysis nor acquired status as an established theme of the history books. It is not a subject on which men or women easily find their way to rational views. Victorian attitudes ranged from the jaundice of Carlyle to the hero worship of John Stuart WIill, from the pungent advocacy of sexual equity in Social Statics to the detestation of unwomanly conduct in the Sovereign's Letters. Rationality of outlook is nowadays more easily and commonly achieved, though full assimilation of its meaning for behaviour and action is still difficult and is not assisted by failure of studies of the recent past to emphasize this element in social change. The purpose of this bibliography is to indicate, for the crucial period from I850 to I9I4, some of the more important sources of material which fall within the interests of sociologists and sociologically minded historians. Much has been omitted through lack of space, more through the writer's ignorance. The elegant and scholarly essay 1 of G. WI. Young is the only interpretation of Victorian England which makes the position of women, their attitude to themselves and society, and of society to them a central, recurring theme. Of the other general surveys only those of Sidney Webb,2 Halevy,3 WingfieldStratford,4 and Hamilton 5 show any awareness of its significance. Most
