Women's suffrage was the most significant challenge to the constitution since 1832, seeking not only to settle demands for inclusion and justice but to expand and redefine definitions of citizenship. Women did not aim at piecemeal reform but systemic structural transformation, and knew that in order to achieve this, they had to effectively navigate the political system at local, national and international levels. At the same time, women recognised the limitations of existing politics, and attempted to redefine the nature of politics itself. From 1832 to the present day, from the countryside in Wales to the Comintem in Moscow, from America to Finland and Ireland to Australia, from the girls' school to the state, we examine how women sought to work within, and remake, political systems and structures. Bringing together early career and established scholars, this collection represents some of the most exciting work emerging from the 2018 centenary of women's suffrage in Britain, building on the significant feminist scholarship on suffrage and reshaping the conversation for a new generation. New Historical Perspectives is a book series for early career scholars, commissioned and edited by the Royal Historical Society, and published under the imprint of the Institute of Historical Research by University of London Press.
