Rethinking Right-Wing Women explores the institutional structures for and the representations, mobilisation, and the political careers of women in the British Conservative Party since the late 19th century. From the Primrose League (est. 1883) to Women2Win (est. 2005), the party has exploited women's political commitment and their social power from the grass-roots to the heights of the establishment. Yet, although it is the party that extended the equal franchise, had the first woman MP to sit Parliament, and produced the first two women Prime Ministers, the UK Conservative Party has developed political roles for women that jar with feminist and progressive agendas. Conservative women have tended to be more concerned about the fulfilment of women's duties than the realisation of women's rights. This book tackles the ambivalences between women's politicisation and women's emancipation in the history of Britain's most electorally successful and hegemonic political party.

The turbulent diplomatic events of September 1938 aroused substantial public excitement, yet the ‘public’, the ‘people’, the ‘material’ and the ‘popular’ have hitherto been marginalised within a vast historiography dominated by traditional perspectives. Indeed, the most neglected aspects of this ‘model’ crisis – despite the abundance of sources – are the social, cultural, material and emotional, as well as public opinion, an oversight addressed in this collection. The book will also internationalise the original ‘Munich moment’, as existing studies are overwhelmingly Anglo- and Western-centric. It provides a corrective to the long-standing proclivity to consider the Munich Crisis almost exclusively from the viewpoint of politicians and diplomats. The original ‘moment’ will thus be analysed from a variety of relatively unchartered perspectives. Popular responses to the crisis will be prominent, comparing collective responses to individual ones, teasing out its psychological and emotional dimensions, allowing a more holistic and ‘emotional’ history to emerge. The variety of contributions provides an international breadth that is unprecedented in the existing literature, with chapters focusing not only on Britain but also Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the United States, Italy, Germany, France and the Soviet Union. It also furnishes a broader reflection on the status of our discipline, accentuating the benefits of exploring many of the hitherto under-scrutinised issues exposed by the ‘cultural’ and ‘emotional’ turns. The Munich Crisis will thus receive a thorough re-examination that moves beyond those formulaic and Anglo-centric analyses that fixate on positioning the (overwhelmingly male) practitioners of ‘high’ politics as either ‘appeasers’ or ‘anti-appeasers’.

Bastions de la démocratie libérale en Europe au début du xxe siècle, la France et la Grande- Bretagne ont été affectés par le processus de radicalisation des droites à divers moments de leur histoire respective. Ligues patriotiques du début du siècle, partis fascistes ou fascisants de l’entre-deux-guerres et extrêmes droites xénophobes et nationalistes d’après 1945 ont successivement contribué à affirmer l’existence d’une droite de la droite dans les deux pays. L’ouvrage pose la question des relations entre droites radicales et modérées à l’échelle du siècle : quelles interactions, quels recoupements idéologiques, quel socle militant partagé, quelles répudiations observe-t-on entre ces deux milieux ? Sont tour à tour abordés les cultures politiques des droites radicales, ensemble composite défini par une grande diversité idéologique, les échanges et circulations d’idées qui s’opèrent entre ces milieux de part et d’autre de la Manche, leur faculté à recruter des soutiens auprès des femmes, ainsi que les relations qui s’instaurent entre droites radicales et modérées au fil du siècle. À droite de la droite concourt à replacer le débat sur les droites radicales au-delà de la simple question de leur succès électoral et à interroger les spécificités idéologiques et structurelles de la « droite de la droite » dans chacun de ces contextes nationaux.
