Charting British feminist history over the past 20 years, this book examines its objects of study, its theoretical debates and its definitions of the politics of history. Reflecting on the particularities of British feminism and the ways in which this has shaped the concerns of feminist history, Hall explores the construction of gendered identities within the English middle-class from the 19th century. From the early enthusiasm of the 1970s for the hidden histories and lost experiences of women, feminist history has become increasingly concerned with men as well as women, with a rewriting of history from a woman's perspective and a gendered perspective. In the 1980s, race became a vital issue for feminism and the last section of the book explores the connections between gendered and racial identities - the different ways in which 19th-century men attempted to exercise power over all their dependants, whether black or female.

<p>"My memories of Grace" never added up to how she really was. She was always impossible to pin down, dancing just out of my reach, exactly as she did when she was alive. Nora was a girl of twelve when the war broke out and she was forced to join the train-loads of evacuees leaving London's East End for rural Kent. Her surrogate family, the Rivers family, are unlike anyone she has met before and she soon comes to love her new life with them, and in particular with twelve-year old Grace. Over the next few years, as the dog-fights rage ever more fiercely over head and it becomes clear that the Rivers marriage contains deep and irreparable cracks, Nora and Grace grow as close as sisters - though, to Nora's confusion, even this is not quite as close as she would like - What happened next is a secret that will gnaw away at Nora for the rest of her life - a secret that she can only begin to tell when she is certain that she is approaching the end.</p>

'Who are you Spencer Little?Why are you here?'  During the long hot summer of 1976, a brilliant young Cambridge mathematician arrives in a remote village in the Lake District and takes on a job as a farm labourer. Painfully awkward and shy, Spencer Little is viewed with suspicion by the community and his only real friendship is with scruffy, clever ten-year-old Alice.  When he saves Alice from a wild-fire, the locals at last begin to accept him, but as he is drawn deeper into their lives, he also becomes aware of their secrets - and of the difficulty of keeping his own.  As the heat-wave intensifies and the web of complicity tightens around him, it becomes clear that Spencer will eventually have to make a choice: between passion and logic, and between loyalty and truth...
