Description based on print version record.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 163-180) and index.

Reconfiguring domestic space for female privacy : the garden, the study and the room -- Public privacy : women, the city and the car -- Privileging privacy : the pre-modern role models of the witch and the primitive -- 'We have gone recreation mad' : leisure, privacy and modern domestic identity -- The loss of a private world : women, privacy and novels of adultery.

Privacy is not often thought of as a marker of modernity but a look at British women b2 ss writing of the early twentieth century suggests that it should be so. For women, access to privacy, especially spatial privacy, has often been limited but with an increased awareness of the politics of space and the importance of a room of one b2 ss own, privacy, long considered a male preserve, was slowly becoming seen as a privilege that a modern and middle-class woman was entitled to. This appropriation of anti-social privacy was a rebellion against conventional, other-centred femininity and emancipatory in its modernity. But even as women were growing aware of their new desire for privacy, privacy was nonetheless awkward for women to practice. Looking at representations of women b2 ss privacy (or lack of it) and exploring the various spaces that women deploy for privacy allows us to see the ambivalences of modernity for women.
