Florence Fenwick Miller
This biography of British suffragist Florence Fenwick Miller chronicles her progression from an unhappy girlhood to a frustrated adolescence, her awakening to the plight of women; and later the flowering of her talents as a public speaker and journalist, activities in which she proved especially gifted.
Florence Fenwick Miller
This title was first published in 2001. Florence Fenwick Miller (1854-1936) was a Victorian activist and achiever in the cause of women from her earliest days. Until now, there has been no biography of her career. The daughter of a merchant marine captain and an excitable, angry-minded mother (with whom she clashed repeatedly), Florence progressed from an unhappy girlhood to a frustrated adolescence. Some of her later triumphs include pioneering work on the "Illustrated London News," which she used as a sounding board for women's issues; her travel to and reporting of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair; her participation in the 1899 meetings of the International Council of Women in London; and her efforts as editor of the "Woman's Signal" (1895-98) which brought influence to bear on the questions of women's education and women's franchise. This book is based partially on a newly discovered Fenwick Miller autobiography, "An Uncommon Girlhood," a record of the first 25 years of her life.

The Women's Suffrage Movement
This widely acclaimed book has been described by History Today as a 'landmark in the study of the women's movement'. It is the only comprehensive reference work to bring together in one volume the wealth of information available on the women's movement. Drawing on national and local archival sources, the book contains over 400 biographical entries and more than 800 entries on societies in England, Scotland and Wales. Easily accessible and rigorously cross-referenced, this invaluable resource covers not only the political developments of the campaign but provides insight into its cultural context, listing novels, plays and films.
Women Making News
Women Making News tells two stories: first, it examines alternative print-based political cultures that women developed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and second, it explores how British female subjects themselves forged a wide range of new political identities through the pages of "their press."Starting in the mid-nineteenth century, a rising cohort of female editors and journalists created a new genre of political journal they proclaimed to be both "for and by women," which continued until the 1930s. The development of new specialized periodicals, such as Women's Penny Paper, Votes for Women, Women's Gazette, and Shafts, fostered the proliferation of diverse polit...
Suffrage Days
This is a history of the suffrage movement in Britain from the beginnings of the first sustained campaign in the 1860s to the winning of the vote for women in 1918. The book focuses on a number of figures whose role in this agitation has been ignored or neglected. These include the free-thinker Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy; the founder of the women's movement in the United States, Elizabeth Cady Stanton; the working class orator, Jessie Craigen; and the socialist suffragists, Hannah Mitchell and Mary Gawthorpe. Through the lives of these figures Holton uncovers the complex origins of the movement and associated issues of gender.
A Feminist Critique of Education
Compiled by the current editors of the journal Gender & Education, this new book maps the development of thinking in gender and education over the last fifteen years, featuring groundbreaking articles from leading authors in the field.
Harriet Martineau
Florence Fenwick Miller (5 November 1854 - 24 April 1935) was an early feminist, journalist and public lecturer. Miller made annual lecture tours on various topics including woman suffrage. As a journalist she contributed to number of publications including the Illustrated London News and The Daily News. From 1895-99 she was editor and proprietor of the Woman's Signal, a feminist magazine. She was the author of three books on physiology: The House of Life (1878), An Atlas of Anatomy (1879) and Animal Physiology for Elementary Schools (1882).
Constructing Girlhood through the Periodical Press, 1850-1915
Focusing on six popular British girls' periodicals, Kristine Moruzi explores the debate about the shifting nature of Victorian girlhood between 1850 and 1915. During an era of significant political, social, and economic change, girls' periodicals demonstrate the difficulties of fashioning a coherent, consistent model of girlhood. The mixed-genre format of these magazines, Moruzi suggests, allowed inconsistencies and tensions between competing feminine ideals to exist within the same publication. Adopting a case study approach, Moruzi shows that the Monthly Packet, the Girl of the Period Miscellany, the Girl's Own Paper, Atalanta, the Young Woman, and the Girl's Realm each attempted to define...
