A Woman’s Place: An Oral History of Working-Class Women 1890-1940

’A highly readable picture of the lives of working-class women through childhood, adolescence, work, leisure, marriage (and more work), family and sexual relations...and motherhood. Through them emerges a picture of a wider working-class reality, which is all the more vivid for its sensitivity to the ambiguous and the unexpected.’--New Society
