      abstract = {"This collection explores the aftermath of the  Representation of the People Act (1918), which gave some  (but not all) British women the vote. Leading experts  explore the paths taken by former-suffragists as well as  their anti-suffragist adversaries, the practices of  suffrage commemoration, and the changing priorities and  formations of British feminism in this crucial era. In  considering how generational conflict informed the  contested legacy of suffragism, these essays examine the  impact of universal suffrage on the main political parties.  Were the hopes and ambitions invested in women's and  universal enfranchisement realized or dashed? How did those  concerned evaluate the outcome as the years wore on? And  why did the attainment of full adult male suffrage in 1918  became overshadowed by the seemingly more momentous  achievement of women's suffrage?"--Publisher's website.},
