<p><strong>'A most impressive resource for historians of women.'</strong> - <em>Women's History Network</em><br /><br /><strong>'Any budding historian looking for a project on British women's history would find reading the dictionary a useful experience.'</strong> - <em>Feminist Collections</em><br /><br /><strong>'Now out as paperback! A good decision, as this dictionary should be as widespread as possible ... a good well researched book, written by experts, and recommendable to anyone, who has an interest in women's history.'</strong> - <em>Glasgow Women's Library</em></p>

This dictionary is the first attempt to identify systematically the large heterogeneous group of women's organisations that grew up from the early 19th century up to the beginning of the modern women's movement, from women abolitionists and Chartists through Social workers, nurses, suffragists and sexual reformers to women pilots, journalists and cricketers. The work brings together over 500 separate entities on a wide variety of societies, associations, clubs, unions and other professional, social and political bodies organised by women or for men.
