An inspiring group biography of thirteen intrepid women who challenged the status quo in interwar Britain.
What did it mean to be a ''rebel woman'' in the interwar years? Historian Sarah Lonsdale traces the struggles, passions and achievements of a set of fearlessly determined women who stopped at nothing to make their mark in the traditionally masculine environments of mountaineering, politics, engineering and journalism.
From the motorist Claudia Parsons to the ''star'' reporter Margaret Lane, the mountaineer Dorothy Pilley and the journalist Shiela Grant Duff, the women charted in this book challenged the status quo in all walks of life, alongside writing vivid, eye-witness accounts of their adventures.
Recovering their voices across a range of texts, including novels, poems, journalism and diaries, Rebel women between the wars reveals the inch-by-inch gains these women won through courageous and sometimes controversial acts.
