Women's Suffrage in the British Empire: Citizenship, Nation and Race (Routledge Research in Gender and History, Number 4)

This edited collection examines the campaign for women's suffrage from an international perspective. Leading international scholars explore the relationship between suffragism and other areas of social and political struggle and examine the ideological and cultural implications of gendered constructions of 'race,' nation, and empire. The book includes comprehensive case studies of Britain, India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Palestine. Englishmen understand the hardship for the Outlander, who is placed on an unequal footing with the Boer.
