This landmark book is certain to provoke debate among feminists and historians and will be essential reading for anyone concerned with women and social problems in late 19th and early 20th century England.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This thoroughly researched, scholarly book highlights the contribution of women to social policy at the turn of the century. It is nevertheless refreshingly free from the jargon of feminist polemic. Many of the issues it examines are still the subject of debate today when solutions to the problems of homelessness and poverty remain far from clear-cut.'
