| Summary: | In the postwar Britain of the late forties and fifties, and through the affluent sixties, feminism seemed dormant, and perhaps even dead. What happened to feminism during those years? And how did the contemporary Womens Liberation Movement grow so suddenly out of the silence that went before it? Elizabeth Wilson seeks to answer this question in a broad re-evaluation of the period 1945-68. Drawing on a wide range of cultural and literary sources for her study, the topics she discusses include contemporary sociology, and social policy and the novel. |
