This book explores the neglected history of women who were active in
Liberal politics, campaigning for women's rights, the vote, and a full
role for women in Welsh public life, at the end of the nineteenth
century, and before the First World War. The over-arching argument of
the book is that Welsh women's Liberal politics was distinctive, in
its attempt to integrate an understanding of Liberalism which they
shared with their English counterparts, and which included the aim of
full equality for women, with a distinctively Welsh political agenda,
and constructions of Welsh national identity. These constructions
sometimes included a positive view of women in the nation, but in
times of political crisis redefined gender on a more reactionary
model.
