Chloe Gardner’s book Women Against the Raj is a well written and informative book. Giving a fascinating insight to the lives of women who remained ‘hidden’ behind their men. It has brought to life the stories and lives of those invisible and unheard voices of strong women. This book should be part of the school curriculum here and in India. For many of the ‘Indian women’ who read this book it will be perhaps the first time they are seeing these names and learning about their, at times very painful journey’s. It gave me a whole new perspective on the history of the fight for Indian Independence.

Comprehensive analysis of women’s role in the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, including the struggle for Civil Rights and against the Vietnam War, leading to “A Movement of One’s Own” to achieve inclusion in society as full citizens. Presenting a diverse range of experiences and perspectives, building on the heroic heritage of women from years past, and introducing us to reformers and innovators whose names may not be well known, but whose activism and actions affected the world in which we live today. Told with a historian’s clear gaze, the transformational changes achieved by this generation are compared to retrenchment in our own time, from liberal progress back to radical conservatism.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.

Charles Cullimore has written a memoir about a career that simply could not occur again in terms of its breadth, diversity and also very real difficulties and hardship. It is hard to imagine many aspiring civil servants being prepared to live and raise a family in basic mud-brick housing with no running water, no heating or AC and with scorpions scurrying around. And yet this is exactly the kind of house that greeted Charles and his young family in East Africa in the 1950s. Indeed, memoirs like this one are so important for reminding us of a world that has now passed firmly into the pages of the history books. Sadly, Charles died in February 2021 but we can at least be thankful that he committed some of his remarkable experiences and expertise to paper.
