Discovering Women's History: A Practical Guide to Researching the Lives of Women since 1800

This Third Edition of Discovering Women's History has been completely reset into a larger page design and the author has taken the opportunity to update it throughout. The highly practical guide introduces the reader to the main areas of British women's history: education, work, family life, sexuality and politics. After an introduction to each topic, detailed commentary is provided on a range of primary source material together with advice on further reading. For the new edition the author has written a brand new chapter on how to choose a dissertation subject and the pitfalls to avoid.
