内容説明

Women teachers were key players in 20th-century feminism. They fought for women's suffrage before the First World War and continued their vigorous compaigns for equal pay, equal promotion opportunities and abolition of the marriage bar into the less promising political environment of the 1920s and 1930s. This text offers an assessment of why women teachers were so politically active, and makes a contribution to the literature on women's politicization. Drawing on interviews with women teachers as well as the records of teachers' associations and central and local government, it explores the tensions in the relationship between their position at the workplace and their family lives and unravels the connections and dissonances between how they saw themselves as both women and professional teachers.
