Product Description
Containing
biographies of more than 1,000 notable British women from Boudicca to
Barbara Castle, this new reference is an absorbing record of female
achievement over the past 2,000 years in Britain.

Offering
invaluable information on the evolution of the female role in British
society, this one-stop reference covers women whose work brought them
before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role
in broadening the horizons for women in Britain, as well as women who
influenced events in a more indirect way, such as the wives of kings
and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting, and society hostesses.

Originally
published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this
completely revised and updated edition includes key figures from the
last 20 years, such as the Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw,
Elizabeth Jennings, and Christina Foyle.
