Women, Privilege, And Power: British Politics, 1750 To The Present

This book examines the many different ways in which women achieved public standing and exercised political power in England from the middle of the 18th century to the present. It shows how rank, property, and inheritance could confer de facto power on privileged women who overawed enfranchised men of lower social standing.
