"This book focuses on the often forgotten legal landmark' that benefited, or aimed to benefit, women in England and Wales between 1918 and 1938. The book follows campaigns by key women's organisations, including the Six-Point Group and the Married Women's Association, while assessing the impact of early women lawyers and politicians. Bringing together 30 academics and scholars, the book uncovers an era marked by feminist activists to provoke legal reforms and advances impacting every area of life - including property, family relationships, access to health care, criminal law, employment opportunities, pay, pensions and political representation"--
