If I took one thing away from this book it was the shocking statistic that amongst women of child-bearing age the death rate was higher than that of the men of working age during the height of the coal extraction years. It was more dangerous to be a coal-miner's wife than to be a coal-miner. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Belongs to Series
This is a new and expanded edition of a path-breaking book first published in 1991. It was the first volume of essays published on Welsh women's history and has become a classic. It has helped to stimulate much research on the subject. This twentieth anniversary edition serves a double purpose. It makes the original text available once more and examines how women's history has developed over the last two decades. Written in a lively and accessible style, it helps to redefine Wales as much more than 'the land of our fathers'. No library descriptions found. |
