Unequal Opportunities by Angela V John
`Unequal Opportunities is essential reading for historians of women's work and specialists in British and European social and labour history.' Susan D. Pennybacker, Trinity College at Hartford `This is a strong and extremely useful collection, which presents a marvellous opportunity for future works of synthesis. Anyone working on the social and economic history of the period 1800 - 1918 will ignore it at their peril.' Social History Society Newsletter '[An] excellent collection' Times Literary Supplement 'This collection..presents an admirably balanced view of women's paid work in urban England. The authors pose a series of interesting analytical questions and grapple creatively with vexed problems of methodology in the face of past neglect, sparse documentary evidence and biaised sources...a most useful collection..it is a safe bet that several of its essays will become standard texts in women's history and..in labour history courses.'
