Placing the Chartist movement within a particular context, this study delves into the intellectual debates on British relations, the place of religion in the state, relationships between social classes, and the nature of politics from the 1830s to 1850s. The process of industrialization is reviewed, revealing how it increased in speed and created huge changes for working people across the country. The Chartist press and local newspapers are utilized, shedding new light on the activities of Chartists from the north to the south. Comparing its subject to the movement in England, this comprehensive reexamination challenges the long-held view that Chartism in Scotland was markedly moderate in its demands and approaches.

"Chartism was a Victorian era working class movement for political reform in Britain between 1838 and 1848. It takes its name from the People's Charter of 1838. The term "Chartism" is the umbrella name for numerous loosely coordinated local groups, often named "Working Men's Association," articulating grievances in many cities from 1837. Its peak activity came in 1839, 1842 and 1848. It began among skilled artisans in small shops, such as shoemakers, printers, and tailors. The movement was more aggressive in areas with many distressed handloom workers, such as in Lancashire and the Midlands. It began as a petition movement which tried to mobilize "moral force", but soon attracted men who advocated strikes, General strikes and physical violence, such as Feargus O'Connor and known as "physical force" chartists."--Wikipedia

Towards the end of the 1830s, large numbers of British working men and women rallied round the People's Charter in order to improve their living conditions through universal suffrage. Women's wide-ranging support of Chartism encompassed everything from extensive lecturing tours to domestic servicing of politically active menfolk. In this first full-length study of women's involvement in Chartism, the author demonstrates that, in their struggle, which lasted for more than a decade, Chartist men and women enforced in their own ranks standards of respectable man- and womanhood that were to shape working-class gender relations well into this century.
