They recall their memories of family life as children, youths and adults in the period between the last decade of the nineteenth century and the outbreak of the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A Woman's Place shows working-class women to be conscious of, and secure in, the separate, private sphere of home and family, with little feeling of male oppression, but more of class oppression and economic injustice to man and woman alike. A woman's key place within the family as budget manager and domestic decision taker was widely recognized. It was, however, a position won at great cost. The hazards of childbirth, the grueling physical routines of washing, cleaning and cooking, the necessity of undertaking part-time, or (in Preston especially) full-time paid employment to boost the family's meager income, were the coin with which that role was bought. This hard female experience from childhood to motherhood is carefully and sensitively recorded, and the oral evidence supported and elucidated by documentary material from a wide range of local and national sources.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Roberts's classic work in the oral history of the family is now reissued to coincide with the publication of Women and Families to which it is a direct prequel. Taken together the two books provide an unrivaled picture of almost a century of social change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50113612972305,"sku":"CIN0684807556VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50143211815185,"sku":"GOR005111254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104339947793,"sku":"CIN0684807556G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0684807556.jpg?v=1751104913"},{"product_id":"plain-talk-and-common-sense-from-the-black-avenger-book-ken-hamblin-9780684865560","title":"Plain Talk and Common Sense From the Black Avenger","description":"A compelling, provocative look at the issues that have Americans talking and debating, from one of America's most controversial and popular talk-radio hosts.  Ken Hamblin is one of the most popular radio talk-show hosts in America, with a daily audience of millions. He is also a prolific writer: His column appeared in The Denver Post and is nationally syndicated. In Plain Talk and Common Sense from the Black Avenger, Hamblin has collected his best pieces. From personalities like Bill Clinton, O.J. Simpson, and Monica Lewinsky to issues like affirmative action, gun control, crime, and capital punishment, Hamblin, author of Pick a Better Country, brings his unique, clear-eyed logic, and at times firebrand vision to the problems and situations that arise on our landscape.   Whether he is speculating on how feminism might have created a Monica Lewinsky or taking unusual stances against most conservative thinkers' views, what Hamblin brings out most poignantly is a brash belief in America—a patriot's belief that the dream is alive and well, though at times under assault from both ends of the spectrum.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50356797702417,"sku":"CIN0684865564A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50356799701265,"sku":"CIN0684865564G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416114823441,"sku":"CIN0684865564VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52402523341073,"sku":"NLS9780684865560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0684865564.jpg?v=1751294489"},{"product_id":"plain-talk-and-common-sense-from-the-black-avenger-book-ken-hamblin-9780684807560","title":"Plain Talk and Common Sense from the Black Avenger","description":"\u003cb\u003eA compelling, provocative look at the issues that have Americans talking and debating, from one of America's most controversial and popular talk-radio hosts.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKen Hamblin is one of the most popular radio talk-show hosts in America, with a daily audience of millions.
