How did we get here? And why, despite over a century of protest, has more progress not been made?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, acclaimed historian Pat Thane offers a clear-eyed introduction to the key forces that have driven as well as limited the pursuit of gender equality in Britain over the last century.
