Collective Biography of Women in Britain 1550-1900 |
||
The first and so far the only work of its kind, this bibliography reveals which women's lives were judged worthy of record in Britain by whom and when. Not just queens, but adventurers, actresses, artists, singers, writers, teachers, missionaries, martyrs, medical women and social reformers. It uncovers many under-used sources for women's history and the fascinating illustrations range from Foxe's Book of Martyrs, c.1560 to the Suffrage Pageant of Great Women 1908.  |
