This book explores the neglected history of women who were active in Liberal politics, campaigning for women's rights, the vote, and a full role for women in Welsh public life, at the end of the nineteenth century, and before the First World War. The over-arching argument of the book is that Welsh women's Liberal politics was distinctive, in its attempt to integrate an understanding of Liberalism which they shared with their English counterparts, and which included the aim of full equality for women, with a distinctively Welsh political agenda, and constructions of Welsh national identity. These constructions sometimes included a positive view of women in the nation, but in times of political crisis redefined gender on a more reactionary model.

With voices including female Chartists, patriotic defenders of Wales, feminists working for women's equality within religious and educational institutions, early socialists and temperance campaigners, The Very Salt of Life introduces a diverse range of texts covering a century of Welsh women's political writings. Incorporating material in Welsh and English from a wide range of sources, the work displays the deep engagment of women in all aspects of the public life of the nation.
