- Abstract
"Quiet Revolutionaries: The Married Women's Association and Family Law" by Sharon Thompson is a book that explores the impact of the Married Women's Association on family law. Established in 1938, the Association aimed to achieve equal partnership in marriage and advocated for the recognition of women's unpaid work in social reproduction. The book highlights the strategic efforts of this feminist group to effect family law reform and challenges the notion that gains for women's equality in marriage were inevitable. Drawing on archival material and personal accounts, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the Association's work and is recommended as a valuable resource for understanding feminist legal history and the efforts of women to achieve equality in marriage.
