Jane Robinson (born 1959) is a British social historian specialising in the study of women pioneers in various fields. She was born in Edinburgh, educated at Easingwold School and Somerville College, Oxford, worked in the antiquarian book trade for 10 years and now lives near Oxford writing and lecturing.[1][2] In 1994, she published an anthology of women travellers' writings, Unsuitable for Ladies.[3] Her 2002 work Pandora's Daughters (Women Out of Bounds in the United States)[4] discussed "Enterprising women" including early Venetian writer Christine de Pizan, criminal Moll Cutpurse, and Christian Cavanagh who joined the army in male disguise. In 2005 she wrote Mary Seacole, a biography of the nurse who was in 2004 voted "the top black Briton of all time",[5] and her 2009 book Bluestockings describes women's entry into English universities from the 1860s to 1939, and was the BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.[1][6][7] In 2011 Robinson published A Force to be Reckoned With, a history of the Women's Institute; she says in the introduction that "the WI members I've come across - past as well as present - have had more humour, courage, spirit, eccentricity and common sense than any other individuals I've ever written about. And that's saying something."[8] In 2015 she published In the Family Way: Illegitimacy Between the Great War and the Swinging Sixties, a book on attitudes to illegitimacy, described in The Telegraph as "bone-chilling".[9] Her 2018 book Hearts And Minds: The Untold Story of the Great Pilgrimage and How Women Won the Vote tells the story of the Suffragists, who campaigned for women's suffrage in Britain separately from the Suffragettes and marched on London in 1913.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/4519448.Jane_Robinson_dedicates_book_to_former_Easingwold_School_teacher_Mollie_Haigh/|title=Jane Robinson dedicates book to former Easingwold School teacher Mollie Haigh|last=Catton|first=Richard|date=30 July 2009|work=The Press|accessdate=20 October 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jane-robinson.com/pages/biography.html|title=Biography|publisher=Jane Robinson|accessdate=21 October 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/book-review--skirting-round-the-globe-unsuitable-for-ladies-an-anthology-of-women-travellers--jane-robinson-oup-1795-pounds-1437658.html|title=BOOK REVIEW / Skirting round the globe: 'Unsuitable for Ladies: An Anthology of Women Travellers' - Jane Robinson|last=Sale|first=Jonathan|date=22 May 1994|work=The Independent|accessdate=20 October 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jane-robinson.com/pages/books_pandora.html|title=Books: Pandora's daughters|publisher=Jane Robinson|accessdate=21 October 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2005/jan/15/featuresreviews.guardianreview6|title=The Creole with the teacup|last=Hughes|first=Kathryn|date=15 January 2005|work=The Guardian|accessdate=20 October 2012}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/non_fictionreviews/6030306/Bluestockings-by-Jane-Robinson-review.html|title=Bluestockings by Jane Robinson: review|last=Fox|first=Genevieve|date=15 August 2009|work=The Telegraph|accessdate=20 October 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lxzrj|title=Book of the Week: Bluestockings|year=2009|publisher=BBC|accessdate=21 October 2012}} 8. ^{{cite book|last=Robinson|first=Jane|title=A Force to be Reckoned With|year=2011|publisher=Virago|isbn=978-1844086603|page=4|chapter=Introduction}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Grice|first1=Elizabeth|title=In the Family Way: Illegitimacy Between the Great War and the Swinging Sixties by Jane Robinson, review: 'bone-chilling'|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/11362982/In-the-Family-Way-Illegitimacy-Between-the-Great-War-and-the-Swinging-Sixties-by-Jane-Robinson.html|accessdate=8 January 2018|work=The Telegraph|date=27 January 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Hearts And Minds|url=https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1111210/hearts-and-minds/|publisher=Penguin|accessdate=8 January 2018}} Publications
