Entering the arena: women, politics and twentieth century Britain

Throughout the twentieth century, British women defied the social conventions of their day to seek influence in the political arena. Dr Helen McCarthy (Senior Lecturer in History, QMUL) tells their story of struggle to stand on the diplomatic stage while Dr Thomas Dixon (Reader in History; Director, Centre for the History of the Emotions, QMUL) explores women in politics through the history of emotions.
