An online resource charting the history of Feminism in the late 18th century to the early 20th century has been launched, providing the perfect starting point for those wanting to research the topic.
Created with researchers and students in mind, the Routledge Historical Resources: History of Feminism pulls together a wealth of articles, chapters, books and journals focusing on the long Nineteenth Century of feminism (1776-1928).
It features thousands of chapters of primary source materials, digitised for the first time, alongside 1,000 chapters of secondary book content and 100 journal articles from a range of Taylor and Francis journals. It also includes 16 newly commissioned thematic essays by experts in the field, including Women’s Movements and Ideologies in the long 19th Century by Professor Krista Cowman from the School of History & Heritage.
Images from the London School of Economics and Political Science’s Women’s Library help to bring the resource to life as well as creating a fully comprehensive resource of this much studied era of gender history.
