Recently, we have been informed that the article by Matthew Thomas, “Anarcho-Feminism in Late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, 1880--1914”, in International Review of Social History, 47 (2002), pp. 1--31, contains a number of pieces of text, in particular in the section “Motherhood, Childcare and Housework” (pp. 15--17), copied from an article by Judy Greenway, “Sex, Politics and Housework”, in: Christine Coates et al. (eds), The Diggers and Dreamers 94/95: Guide to Communal Living (1993), pp. 39-45, without the author having given any proper acknowledgement or reference to this article. Although our Instructions for Contributors clearly state that an author is fully responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material in which they do not hold the copyright and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgements are included, we deeply regret this incident, for which we would like to apologize to Judy Greenway. In the light of this information, the editors have decided, in agreement with Matthew Thomas, to withdraw the electronic version of the article from CJO. The original pagination of the issue, however, is preserved.
