Description: This is the first comprehensive account of feminist politics in Great Britain from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. The authors trace the movement's accomplishments and defeats over four successive conservative government terms. They identify and examine five key areas of British feminist politics--political representation and citizenship, equal employment opportunities, reproductive rights and health, motherhood and childcare, and male violence. In each of these areas, the authors explore both developments in feminist theory and the grass-roots movements.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [367]-379) and index.
