Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
This is a new edition of a book that was originally published in 1991 as the first of its kind, written when women's history in Wales was in its infancy. Written in a lively and accessible style, these studies help to redefine Wales as much more than 'the land of our fathers'.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
This expanded volume marks the twentieth anniversary of the first publication of a groundbreaking study on Welsh women's history. It serves a dual purpose by making the original text available and examines how women's history has developed over the last two decades. Reflecting the pioneering research of its contributors to the field, the eight chapters range widely across time (1830-1939) and place, from exploring working class women's community sanctions and the perils facing a collier's wife to the very different lifestyles of ironmasters' wives. They also tackle the idealised images of respectable Welsh women in periodicals and the tragic reality of those who took their own lives as well as showing us the transgressive actions of suffrage rebels. They examine how women carved out space within movements such as temperance and track the fluctuating fortunes of women's employment and domestic life from the Great War to the eve of the Second World War. These essays draw upon a wealth of research and expertise that should appeal to both the academic community and to a much wider readership.
