She demonstrates how the thriving and militant feminism of late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was undermined, and asserts that the decline of this feminism was due largely to the promotion of a sexual ideology which was hostile to women's independence. The circumstances about which she writes are frighteningly familiar in the present political climate. 606 $aFeminism$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aSexual ethics for women$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aSingle women$xSexual behavior$zEngland$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory. 615 0$aSexual ethics for women$xHistory. 615 0$aSingle women$xSexual behavior$xHistory. 676 $a305.420942 676 $a306.7082 700 $aJeffreys$b Sheila$0553920 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821752003321 996 $aThe Spinster and Her Enemies$94062170 997 $aUNINA
