From the vote, to safer working environments, reproductive rights, infant welfare and other NHS services, every day we benefit from the sacrifices they made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet there are no statues, and rarely any blue plaques to many of these women. Beyond a few big names, most aren't even in the traditional history books. These were poor women, migrant women, queer women, disabled women; young women. Alone they didn't have the power to create change, so they worked in unions, tenants associations and other solidarity movements. Together they took on Britain's most powerful institutions, and won.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing years of archival research and oral history interviews, we now have one of the most comprehensive retellings of how women's rights in Britain were secured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven those familiar with women's history will find rare gems inside; names they've never come across before, with some stories being published for the very first time. For those new to it all, this is an accessible walk through how women have shaped the last 150 years. Whatever your level of knowledge, get ready to be inspired and so you can keep fighting for gender equality today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1036126218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781036126216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Esther Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097270919423,"sku":"9781036126216","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/great-women-of-london-esther-freeman-9781036126216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
