Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to top foredge. Interior and binding are still very good.

Exploring Women's Past questions some of the traditional notions of what history is all about. Five feminist historians have chosen to write about women in different times over the past thousand years and on two continents. Medieval nuns in Europe, women in pre-industrial England, women in mid-nineteenth century Western Australia, spinsters in late Victorian England and prostitutes in the early 20th century are vividly portrayed, and the forces that shaped their lives are explored.

Includes two chapters particular to Western Australia:

Chapter 3: Helpmeet for Man: Women in Mid-nineteenth Century Western Australia by Margaret Anderson

Chapter 5: As Good a Bloody Woman as Any Other Bloody Woman: Prostitutes in Western Australia, 1895-1039 by Raelene Davidson
