Any money she earned belonged to her husband, who also had the right to take her children away from her. Higher education for girls was non-existent, while in the factories of the industrial north, women did the same work as men for half the wages. In this book Betty Williams assesses the achievements of pioneers such as Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst and Marie Stopes, and asks how far women still live in a man's world. It is the third book in the \"Changing Britain\" series, which looks at the changing face of Britain from the mid-19th century to the present day. Fully illustrated throughout, the book is aimed at 14-16 year olds.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599384387857,"sku":"GOR004854701","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49637103075601,"sku":"GOR004808641","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0713470151.jpg?v=1750977447"},{"product_id":"railway-industry-book-betty-williams-9780713455397","title":"The Railway Industry","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613481246993,"sku":"GOR004531264","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/071345539X.jpg?v=1750977427"},{"product_id":"o-ben-bryn-i-dy-r-cyffredin-book-betty-williams-9781904845980","title":"O Ben Bryn i Dy'r Cyffredin","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51379825803537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51379826032913,"sku":"GOR005611435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52703269552401,"sku":"GOR014586622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1904845983.jpg?v=1750900679"},{"product_id":"to-be-safe-again-book-betty-williams-9781465386441","title":"To Be Safe Again","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52596636123409,"sku":"NLS9781465386441","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781465386441.jpg?v=1761072932"},{"product_id":"to-be-safe-again-book-betty-williams-9781465386458","title":"To Be Safe Again","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52596653523217,"sku":"NLS9781465386458","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781465386458.jpg?v=1761072961"},{"product_id":"mumma-can-you-hear-me-book-betty-williams-9780983185833","title":"Mumma, Can You Hear Me?","description":"Betty Williams discovered her life's calling while living in an orphanage-she was born to teach, protect, and encourage children wherever she may be. This became an all-consuming passion that lead her from Maine to the jungles of Brazil and far beyond. The witchdoctor's chanting and dancing stopped as we came through the door. He nodded and stepped back. Bob gently picked the child up, washed her face with a damp cloth, and declared that only God had power over death-and that wherever there is life, there is hope. (from page 96) This fascinating autobiography introduces a woman who was born into poverty in Auburn, Maine, and who followed her faith-and her teenage husband-into mission work in Brazil. Though often sorely tested, Betty's faith remained strong through a fascinating life spent helping children in creative ways. She delivered babies as a missionary in Brazil, taught children in Philadelphia and Alaska, and opened her homes in many places to the foster children, students, and many others who needed her. After divorcing her husband, Betty adopted three children and began a second family-one that welcomed a rotating cast of foster siblings even as she developed a later-life career teaching in Maine's schools. Blessed with many children and more than eighty years of fond memories, Betty tells her stories with wisdom, compassion.and good humor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53009013965073,"sku":"NIN9780983185833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780983185833.jpg?v=1767971578"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-betty-williams.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
