Abstract
The 1880's, a decade of explosive growth and organization for British socialism, also witnessed the birth of socialist feminism; a confluence of radical visions which troubled as well as excited contemporary socialists, and inspired a new array of analyses of contemporary evils, and projections of an ideal family and personal life. It is difficult, however, to find a fully socialist-feminist nineteenth century English-language utopia; neither Mizora, Mary Bradley Lane's 1881 American radical separatist utopia, nor the 1888 Margaret Dunmore: Or, A Socialist Home, Jane Clapperton's English celebration of shared labour within voluntary “family” units, directly confronted the issues of capitalism or economic inequality. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
