Endorsements
An important intervention into a vibrant area of scholarship, this volume of essays creates a dialogue between the histories of imperialism and of women and gender. Engaging critically with both traditional British imperial history and colonial discourse analysis, the essays demonstrate how feminist historians can play a central role in creating new histories of British imperialism. Following an introductory survey of the developing field, the book is arranged into three sections, dealing respectively with the imposition and impact of the empire within Britain. Chronologically, the focus is on the late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries, while geographically the essays range from the Caribbean to Australia and span India, Africa, Ireland and Britain itself. Topics explored include the question of female agency in imperial contexts, the relationship between feminism and nationalism, and questions of sexuality, masculinity and imperial power.
