Dr Jill Liddington
Honorary Research Fellow
I joined the then Extra-Mural Department at the University of Leeds in 1982. More recently, I was Reader in Gender History, School of Continuing Education, until my transfer to CIGS, where I am now Honorary Research Fellow.
I have worked closely with the Women's Library (ex-Fawcett Library), London, and continue to do so. I am also a member of the Women's History Network; and have close links with the women's history seminar network at the Institute for Historical Research, and with the History Workshop journal.
Research Interests
My main research interests lie with gender and history in Britain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This has primarily focused on suffrage history, particularly the history of the Votes for Women campaign across the industrial north. More recently, I have begun to follow the trajectories of suffragettes and suffragists after the outbreak of war in 1914.
Teaching
I contribute to the Research Gender MA module.
