||
Includes essays by diverse hands on the weekly wash, women unemployed in the Depression, Women’s Institutes, child refugee rescue, women Fascists and anti-Fascists, women’s teacher training colleges, women in medical laboratories and in Art Schools, women in the BBC and the spinster in women’s fiction. My own essay, `England’s Cassandras in World War One` discusses the unheeded prophecies of Beatrice Webb’s pacifist sister Kate, Lady Courtney of Penwith, Mary Sheepshanks, Vernon Lee, and Stafford Cripps’ stepmother Marion, Lady Parmoor. |
