Chapter One: Introduction 1
Feminism, citizenship and social activity: The role and importance of local women’s organisations, Nottingham 1918-1969 Samantha Clements, B.A., M.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2008 ABSTRACT This local study of single-sex organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is an attempt to redress some of the imbalanced coverage given to this area of history thus far. A chronological study, it examines the role, importance and, to some extent, impact of a wide range of women’s organisations in the local context. Some were local branches of national organisations, others were specifically concerned with local issues. The local focus allows a challenge to be made to much current thought as to the strength of a “women’s movement” in the years between the suffrage movement and the emergence of a more radical form of feminism in the 1970s. The strength of feminist issues and campaigning is studied in three periods – the inter-war period, the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, and the 1950s and 1960s. The first two periods have previously been studied on a national level but, until recently, the post-Second World war era has been written off as overwhelmingly domestic and therefore unconstructive to the achievement of any feminist aims. This study suggests that, at a local level, this is not the case and that other conclusions reached about twentieth century feminism at a national level are not always applicable to the local context. The study also goes further than attempting to track interest in equality feminism in the mid years of the century by discussing the importance of citizenship campaigns and the social dimension of membership of women’s organisations. -

The Afterlife of Empire Jordanna Bailkin
The Afterlife of Empire Jordanna Bailkin Published in association with the University of California Press “Quietly dazzling. In this gripping account of welfare’s postcolonial history, Jordanna Bailkin throws the archives wide open and invites us to walk through them with new eyes—and with renewed appreciation for the intimate connections between empire and metropole in the mak- ing of contemporary Britain. The Afterlife of Empire chal- lenges us to reimagine how we think and teach the twen- tieth century in Britain and beyond.” ANTOINETTE BURTON, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign “A brilliant contribution to the history of twentieth-century Britain. It does what no other book has done: narrating the end of empire and the rise of the postwar welfare state to- gether, while placing the stories of ordinary people—children, adolescents, parents, hus- bands, and wives—at the heart of this account. With this book, Bailkin transforms our un- derstanding of how some of the most critical issues of twentieth-century British history were not just perceived, but lived.” STEPHEN J. BROOKE, York University The Afterlife of Empire investigates how decolonization transformed British society in the 1950s and 1960s. Although usually charted through diplomatic details, the empire’s col- lapse was also a personal process that altered everyday life, restructuring routines and social interactions. Using a vast array of recently declassified sources, Jordanna Bailkin re- casts the genealogy and geography of welfare by charting its unseen dependence on the end of empire, and illuminates the relationship between the postwar and the postimperial. JORDANNA BAILKIN is Giovanni and Amne Costigan Professor of History and Professor of History and Women’s Studies at the University of Washington. -

Revised BHC Panel for Online Volume
When Worlds Collide: Government and Electrification, 1892-1939 Jonathan Coopersmith Electricity, as a technology with scientific dimensions and as a utility requiring major investments, rapidly became an interna- tional business venture. However, electricity also had public dimensions that attracted public authorities. The State became involved in the electrification process not only as a regulator and standard setter, but also as a client and eventually as an investor, either through collaboration with the private sector or as the sole actor through nationalization. Although the State confined itself within the boundaries of its territory, there is no doubt that its gradual intervention had a significant impact on global electrifi- cation and that the constant presence of the State gave electrification a strong ideological dimension easily perceptible in speeches and decision-making. One advantage of the geographically and chronically wide-ranging approach of global electrification projects is we can see trends and patterns that otherwise might be lost in the “thick history” of specific countries. Perhaps nowhere is that as clear as in understanding the major roles played by government in shaping the evolution of electrification. “Government” covers a wide range of entities from the local to the supranational, and government involvement grew in specific phases worldwide at approximately the same times, albeit with large local and regional variations. This semi-lockstep movement reflects technological developments, similar economic and financial challenges, and the rapid speed of ideas, institutions, and individuals worldwide. In this paper, I outline the range of government entities, the phases of their involvement, shifting technological and financial paradigms, and examine specific regions. -
