Despite the prejudice and the terrible sacrifices they faced, women from all backgrounds persevered and paved the way for the generations who have followed them since.Bluestockings tells an inspiring story - of defiance and determination, of colourful eccentricity and at times heartbreaking loneliness, as well as of passionate friendships, midnight cocoa-parties and glorious self-discovery.\'Social history of the best kind\' Sunday Times\'Modern girls need reminding of the long battle, and Jane Robinson\'s fine book does just that, charting the lives and struggles of campaigners\' Mail on Sunday Σελίδες: 304, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
