The Cause. A History of the Women's Movement in Great Britain.

£500 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

The Cause was Strachey’s “best-known and most successful book” (ODNB) and was for many decades regarded as the classic account of the English women’s movement. “While acknowledging in a limited way the importance of the militants, it established a version of the suffrage movement that endorsed the views and celebrated the role of Millicent Fawcett and the NUWSS” (ODNB). The appendix includes a previously unpublished essay on the position of women in society by Florence Nightingale titled ‘Cassandra’.
