Establishes the impact that Britain's position as leading imperial power had on the origins of modern western feminism. This study exposes the intimate links between debates on the 'woman question' and the constitution of 'colonial discourse' in order to highlight the centrality of empire to white middle-class women's activism in Britain.
This original work throws fascinating new light on the roots of later 'imperial feminism' and contemporary debates concerning women's rights in an era of globalization and neo-imperialism.
