A very readable and entertaining look as aspects of Welsh Women's History. 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. ( )

In memory of the Welsh writer Menna Gallie 1919-1990
First words
The history of Welsh people has often been camouflaged in British history yet women have also been rendered inconspicuous within their own Welsh history.
