This is one of a series of bibliographical guides designed to meet the needs of undergraduates, postgraduates and their teachers in universities and colleges of further education. All volumes in the series share a number of common characteristics. They are selective, manageable in size, and include those books and articles which are considered most important and useful. All are editied by practising teachers of the subject in question and are based on their experience of the needs of students. The arrangement combines chronological with thematic divisions. Most of the items listed receive some descriptive comment. This volume in the series provides an up-to-date guide to the work on the history of women in Britain from c 500 AD to the present. The new approaches of feminism and women's history are covered in an extensive methodological section dealing with the concepts, problems, historiography and sources. Traditional concerns such as women and family; women and education; women, politics and power; women and religion; feminism; and all aspects of women's work are well represented. In addition, attention is paid to more recent developments in women's history, such as women's sexuality; women and crime; prostitution; women's biography and authobiography; and women's involvement with the wider world as travellers and emigrants.
