This book continues to fill a significant gap in the historiography of British fascism, which has generally overlooked the contribution of women on the one hand, and the importance of sexual politics and women's issues on the other. Gottlieb's extensive research makes use of government documents, a large range of contemporary pamphlets, newspapers and speeches, as well as original interviews with those personally involved in the movement.
This new edition includes a preface analysing the current affairs of the last 20 years, reframing the book according to contemporary context. Here, Gottlieb looks at the resurgence of populism, the rise of women as leaders of far-right parties across Europe and North America, and the normalisation of fascism in fiction and political discourse.

Phyllis Lassner, Women's History Review
«Its brilliant analysis of the place of women in Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists does much to change our perceptions... Gottlieb's study is full and convincing, backed up by extensive research into original sources.»
Richard Griffiths, The Times Higher Education Supplement
«[A] refreshing, thought-provoking and original study... This fascinating study forces us to reconsider some established categories in the historical study of politics and gender.»
Martin Francis, The Times Literary Review
«This is both an original and important book... Julie Gottlieb's well written book has effectively analysed Mosley's charismatic appeal to female admirers.»
Richard Thurlow, The English Historical Review
