Bodichon was the leader of the first women?s suffrage committee in England, which collected 1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote ? a petition presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill. This book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Barbara Bodichon?s feminist becoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted, redefined and challenged circulating discourses ? transforming them in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender history and history of women?s education, this book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Bodichon?s development into one of the galvanizing figures of the women?s rights movement in Victorian England. . 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aWomen 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aWomen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aWomen. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aWomen's Studies. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a305.420942 676 $a900 700 $aSimon-Martin$b Meritxell$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0976165 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910410027503321 996 $aBarbara Bodichon?s Epistolary Education$92223290 997 $aUNINA
