This book examines how patriotic groups of womanhood used shame as a political tool. It looks at how early twentieth-century British, Irish, and Australian women embraced the reformative power of shame as they attempted to protect their gendered and national communities from "feminist corruption."

Sharon Crozier-De Rosa is a senior lecturer in history at the University of Wollongong.
