Description: "Kathryn Gleadle deals with women's evolving experiences of work, the family, the community and politics amongst all classes, providing the reader with assessments of the key historiographical debates and issues. Particular emphasis is placed upon recent, revisionist research, which draws attention not merely to the role of ideologies and economic circumstances in shaping women's lives, but upon women's own identities and experiences."--BOOK JACKET.
