The Gentleman's Daughter: Women's Lives in Georgian England (Yale Nota Bene)by: A Vickery November 14, 2003 Best Selling > Books > Women in History |

Many books can be found outlining Georgian political history and more than one biography has been written on Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, but the everyday lives of genteel women have had less attention. In this book, Vickery uses surviving letters, diaries, accounts and pocketbooks of a selection of Georgian women living genteel lives in Northern England. I found the book interesting, but fairly heavy going in places. Any modern woman reading the chapter on childbirth will be glad to live in the current age! This is a good insight into everyday life and the role and functions of women within society. However, the type in my copy I found to be quite small, and so a little hard on the eyes. Chapters are also quite long with few breaks ... Read More:

I bought this book having read the other good reviews on Amazon and I have found it very useful. I am currently writing a creative piece concerning women and tattoos and this book is intelligent, thought-provoking and surprising. It is full of personal stories from women that I have found invaluable for my work. It is particularly strong on the history of women-as-tattooists and is full of good photographs. I would recommend this book to anyone who has any kind of interest in the subject.

this book gives so much to both the social and the studing reader. Set out clearly, we are taken through the lives of Tudor women, from the childbearing to the business women. this book shows clearly the restrainghts placed on women in the early modern period while highlighting their important role in society. I would recomend this book to anyone studing this period.

The British Women's Suffrage Campaign: 1866-1928 (Seminar Studies In History)by: Harold Smith June 14, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Women in History |
List Price: £14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: £13.99 You Save: £1.00 ( 7%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.01 |

The book provides an study of the Women's Suffrage Campaign, which is useful for studying the above topic. However, even though the information provide is useful it is sometimes hard to follow as the order of the book is not chronological but instead by topic. As an historical reference it is good for providing fairly in-depth information. Yet is not that detailed for all readers.

This book presumes the reader has a good knowledge of art history etc., and goes into great depth with much detail. As I was looking for something more general I found it heavy going in places and thought the last sections devoted to modern art disappointing with quesionable examples. I think we all have an instinct for what is good art, and a lot of these simply aren't - they separate the masses from art, rather than integrate. Apart from that, it's good value, plenty of illustrations and well written. It'll stay on my shelf as a reference book I can dip into from time to time.
