Resumen de The educated insight of a sedentary woman: Mrs Humphry Ward (1851-1920) on the nature and purpose of women's education
The contribution some conservative anti-suffrage women, including Mrs Humphry Ward, made within the debates concerning women's higher education in the late Victorian and early Edwardian period is not fully recognized within histories of education. Julia Bush argues that the polarized labels of anti-feminism and feminism have had an exclusory impact on historical accounts of women. Previously, Gisela Argyle's study of four of Mrs Humphry Ward's best-known novels reveals that this analysis extends to women's literary work, which does not conform within the traditional parameters of heroines and champions of feminism.
