Dr Harrison argues that British feminism can't be understood with no appreciating the power or even the modern plausibility of ‘the Antis’, because the rivals of women’s suffrage have been called.
In an absolutely documented procedure which mixes political with social background, he unravels the complicated politics, clinical, diplomatic and social elements of the anti-suffrage brain, and clarifies the Antis’ crucial dedication to the assumption of separate yet complementary spheres for the 2 sexes.

The Antis additionally introduce us to special Victorian and Edwardian attitudes that are usually forgotten and which vary markedly from the attitudes to ladies that are now well-known; nevertheless, his concluding bankruptcy – which surveys the interval from 1918 to 1978 – claims that a lot of those attitudes, even though much less often voiced in public, nonetheless impact present-day behavior. His booklet, released initially in 1978, therefore makes an enormous contribution in the direction of the heritage of the British women’s stream and in the direction of knowing Britain within the 19th- and twentieth-centuries.
