How far did women support Oswald Mosley's Black Shirts? This reference aims to fill a significant gap in the historiography of British fascism, which has generally overlooked the contribution of the women's movement to Britain's fascist experience. Looking at female fascist activism and the influence of feminist ideology on the fascist agenda, Gottlieb shows the significant impact of feminist thought in this area. In spite of its mainstream vocal opposition to fascism, parts of the women's movement as Gottlieb demonstrates, had an implicit connection with the British Union of Fascists.

'...it must be emphatically stated that this is both an original and important book which has major significance for both gender studies, and the history of British Fascism.' -English Historical Review 'If anyone was tempted to believe, given the plethora of works on British fascism, that there was little left to say, Julia Gottlieb's Feminine Fascism would disabuse them.' -Times Higher Education
