Beyond Suffrage: Feminists in War and Peace, 1914-28

In this book, the author explores the experience of 14 women over the period 1914 to 1928, the year when the enfranchisement of women in Britain was completed. These women were active suffragists before 1918 and their political activities continued after the War. Similar in social background, they formed a network of friendship from which they drew strength; yet they were different in their perspectives on feminism and in the extent, nature and direction of their commitment to the women's movement. Johanna Alberti is one of four editors of "Writing Women", the magazine devoted exclusively to publishing new writing by women. [publisher]
