Although they did not recognize it as such, their work was in many ways an affirmation and display of citizenship. This book uses Cons?s and Cavendish?s partnership and work as an illuminating point of departure for exploring the larger topic of women?s philanthropic campaigns in late Victorian and Edwardian society.Andrea Geddes Poole demonstrates that, beginning in the late 1860s, a shift was occurring from an emphasis on charity as a private, personal act of women?s virtuous duty to public philanthropy as evidence of citizenly, civic participation. She shows that, through philanthropic works, women were able to construct a separate public sphere through which they could speak directly to each other about how to affect matters of significant public policy ? decades before women were finally granted the right to vote. 606 $aWomen in charitable work$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aCitizenship$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial reformers$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aWomen philanthropists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in charitable work$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCitizenship$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSocial reformers 615 0$aWomen philanthropists 676 $a361.7092/52094209034 700 $aGeddes Poole$b Andrea$f1959-$0941214 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463738903321 996 $aPhilanthropy and the construction of Victorian women's citizenship$92281640 997 $aUNINA
