Home, Nature, and the Feminine Ideal: Geographies of the Interior and of Empire

By Elaine Stratford and Elaine Stratford Professor and Director Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment

This book examines how ideas about bodies, homes, and nature were deployed to serve three interrelated imperatives: the healthy population, the nation, and empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through an analysis of archive material it explores how the role of women in 'progressive' reform was a form of governmentality.
