Paula Bartley's original research is supported by a range of writing to provide a powerful impression of the actions taken by groups of women from across the social and political spectrum, making the book invaluable to both students and interested readers. These women set out to make a difference to their locality, their country and sometimes the world. The story of women's activism embodies stimulating accounts of progress and reversals, of commitment and uncertainty, of competing rights and challenging wrongs. The story of women's activism is not tidy or well-ordered. It is messy and unorthodox. And full of surprises. Paula Bartley is a feminist historian who has written widely on, and promoted, women's history. Her books include Ellen Wilkinson (2014), Queen Victoria (2016) and Labour Women in Power: Cabinet Ministers in the Twentieth Century (Palgrave, 2019). She is a former judge and Chair of the Women's History Network book prize. "Paula Bartley's fresh approach tells a multi-dimensional story of women's political engagement. She synthesizes women's activism from points across the political spectrum, including both far left and far right women, and the many in between, acknowledging that not all women's political engagement has been 'progressive' or feminist. Her own insight and experience add depth and authenticity to this valuable study." ---Julie Gottlieb, Professor of History, University of Sheffield, UK "This book is a really enjoyable read. It also reminds us that it is not powerful men, or even women, that make history but activists that create the waves. And it is also clear, not all women are progressive." ---Clare Short, Former Labour MP and Secretary of State for International Development "A compelling history of the women who marched, fasted and stormed bastionsof male politics and society for suffrage, workers' rights, control over their bodies, even the right to serve in bars. Paula Bartley reminds us once again of their courage and fortitude, of campaigns big and small, and how much we owe these pioneers." ---Shrabani Basu, journalist, historian, and best-selling author. 410 0$aGender and History,$x2755-1563 606 $aWomen$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aWomen's History / History of Gender 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aSocial History 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aWomen's History / History of Gender. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a305.420941 676 $a303.40820941 700 $aBartley$b Paula$0911535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910558501303321 996 $aWomen's Activism in Twentieth-Century Britain$92824708 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03081nam 2200685Ia 450 001 9910966350603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781438403519 010 $a1438403518 035 $a(CKB)111000211284800 035 $a(OCoLC)42636919 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10588709 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000184302 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11165932 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000184302 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10201040 035 $a(PQKB)11065560 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3408161 035 $a(DE-B1597)736184 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781438403519 035 $a(Perlego)2673006 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111000211284800 100 $a19960501d1997 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIsrael through the Jewish-American imagination $ea survey of Jewish-American literature on Israel, 1928-1995 /$fAndrew Furman 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAlbany $cState University of New York Press$dc1997 215 $a1 online resource (237 p.) 225 0 $aSUNY series in Modern Jewish Literature and Culture 225 0$aSUNY series in modern Jewish literature and culture 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780791432518 311 08$a0791432513 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 203-218) and index. 327 $aFront Matter -- Half Title Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication Page -- Table of Contents -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- Content -- INTRODUCTION -- MEYER LEVIN AGAINST THE GRAIN -- EMBATTLED URIS -- SAUL BELLOW'S MIDDLE EAST PROBLEM -- HUGH NISSENSON'S ISRAEL -- ZIONISM IN CHAIM POTOK'S THE CHOSEN, MESSIANIC COMPLICATIONS, AND CURRENT CRISES -- PHILIP ROTH'S NERVE IN THE COUNTERLIFE AND OPERATION SHYLOCK: A CONFESSION -- ANNE ROIPHE'S ANGST -- TOV A REICH'S DARING VISION -- OR, THE FEMINIZATION OF ISRAEL'S PENITENT -- CONCLUSION -- Back Matter -- WORKS CITED -- INDEX. 330 $aExamines eight Jewish-American writers--Meyer Levin, Leon Uris, Saul Bellow, Hugh Nissenson, Chaim Potok, Philip Roth, Anne Roiphe, and Tova Reich--who have "imagined" Israel in their work. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJudaism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 606 $aJewish fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews in literature 607 $aIsrael$xIn literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJudaism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJewish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews in literature. 676 $a813/.509325694/089924 700 $aFurman$b Andrew$f1968-$01800461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966350603321 996 $aIsrael through the Jewish-American imagination$94345284 997 $aUNINA
