| Publisher Description: A celebration of the pioneering achievements of Unitarian women who made a difference to their world - as writers and artists, social reformers, suffrage activists, peace campaigners, educators and politicians, preachers and ministers - for 200 years from the mid-18th century. As Unitarians, they dissented from the orthodox religious doctrines of their time; as women, they dissented from the restricted cultural roles prescribed for them by society. They rarely acted alone: they were supported by networks of friends - both women and men - and this book traces some of those complex interconnectons across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. |
