Suffrage and Power: The Women's Movement 1918-1928 »

Cheryl Law is Lecturer in Women's Studies at Birkbeck College, University of London.

This interpretation of the women's movement in the United Kingdom during the 1920s focuses on such fundamental aspects as the pursuit of political and economic power. Law (women's studies, U. of London) examines the key issues in the movement, and discusses its organizations in terms of their networks, ideology, and working practices. She explains how the women in the movement extended their influence to all spheres of society, and made the transition from outsiders to participants in the political process.
