@HistorianHelen
Recenzii
A
fabulous
new
cultural
history
of
working
motherhood
over
the
past
180
years
.
It
is
truly
Big
History
and
Helen
McCarthy
has
rightly
made
mothers'
feelings
and
desires
her
central
theme
...
McCarthy,
measured
but
sympathetic,
has
done
for
working
mothers
what
the
historian
David
Kynaston
did
for
the
1950s
"There are no typical lives," Helen McCarthy writes in her impressive and nuanced study. Each is unique. But the best history writing, like hers, shows how representative the individual life is . McCarthy's is an economic and social history, but she also wants to give "shade and texture" to what has been thought and said about working mothers. In this she succeeds magnificently
Helen McCarthy does a brilliant job of tracking the way attitudes to combining work and motherhood in the UK have changed from the nineteenth century to the present
Groundbreaking . A fascinating read
Impeccably referenced . For anyone interested not just in female employment, but in the labour market generally, it will be a valuable resource . McCarthy's impressive mining of contemporary sources brings one face to face with grinding toil, inadequate diets, and terror of illness
This is an important book .Double Livesis a forceful reminder that attitudes to working mothers change abruptly and that politics, not nature, will decide the future of female employment
Authoritative in scope and calmly judged, but with an ear for voices and an eye for detail,Double Livesis the history we have long wanted of a subject still freighted with emotion and misunderstanding
Carefully researched, stylishly written and highly entertaining. The story is rich with female pioneers. McCarthy's "women of the world" stand as a reminder that, for many women, ours is a world which has not yet been won
Vivid and engaging. Complexities come out beautifully in the lives recovered in this book
As McCarthy eloquently argues in this important book full of brilliant vignettes, fighting to the top is usually harder for a woman
