Publishers Description: Spanning two decades of research and writing, this volume presents the influential and insightful work of Sally Alexander, one of Britains most reputed feminist historians.Whether analyzing womens factory work, the emergence of the Victorian womens movement, or womens voices during the Spanish civil war, or charting the lives of women in the inter-war years, Alexanders accounts are original and thoughtful. Moving from a discussion of class and sexual difference to a reading of subjectivity informed by psychoanalysis, Alexander exposes the relationship between memory, history, and the unconscious. Her focus ranges from a descriptive rendering of the 1970s Nightcleaners campaign to a more exploratory account of becoming a woman in 1920s and 30s London."Becoming A Woman" offers up a fascinating exploration of important historical moments and of the process of writing feminist history.
