Now for the first time in paperback, A Room at a Time is considered a landmark of original research into women's political history as well as party politics. And she builds up to the explosion of women's political activisim of the 1960s and 1970s, connecting past to future by tracing the roots of key political strategies still being debated in the early 21st century.
