Significant Sisters - The Grassroots of Active Feminism, 1839-1939

Author(s): Margaret Forster

SECONDHAND BOOKS | POLITICS

Eight women who changed the world Caroline Norton * Elizabeth Blackwell * Florence Nightingale * Emily Davies * Josephine Butler * Elizabeth Cady Stanton * Margaret Sanger * Emma Goldman Significant Sisters traces the lives of eight women, each of whom pioneered vital changes in the spheres of law, education, the professions, morals or politics: the first woman doctor, the pioneer of birth control, a radical journalist, and suffragists. Each forged her own particular brand of feminism, yet all fought bravely to make real, lasting difference to women's lives, and make us redefine our own notions of feminism today.

1986. A very good copy only marked by lightly age tanned pages.
