Introduction
The
Nineteenth-Century Research Group is an interdisciplinary and
inter-institutional cluster of scholars interested in all aspects of the
‘long’ nineteenth century. It aims to provide a forum for discussions about
research issues, theory and methodology, and to promote opportunities for
collaboration and peer support among its members. It also organises regular
seminars and one-off events such as day conferences. Members come from
disciplinary backgrounds in English, History and Art; Ph.D. students from
these disciplines are also members.

‘Second-wave Feminism and the History of First-wave Feminism’
Krista Cowman
This project looks at how second wave feminism both created and used
historical knowledge of first wave feminism in developing its campaigns. This
involves looking at some examples of earlier feminist histories (for example
Bertha Mason's The Women's Suffrage Movement (1912); Helena Blackburn, Women's
Suffrage (1902)
‘Women and Museums 1850-1914’
Kate Hill
This project focuses on an examination of women’s donations to late
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century museums. It will go on to examine
women as dealers, employees, visitors and volunteers at museums during the
period.
