Victorian and Edwardian Anti-Feminism
Product details
Biographical note
Edited by Valerie Sanders and Lucy DelapThis new collection from Routledge and Edition Synapse provides the documentary backdrop to this growing critical interest in anti-feminism. Based on the premise that to understand the social and intellectual context of the women’s movement and feminism, it is crucial that all contributions to the debate be explored, and not just those of the ‘winning side’, the collection meets an urgent need to restore to the historical record a sense of how feminism was a deeply marginalized position, and to remember that anti-feminism in many cases better represents public opinion concerning the gender politics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
