Recenzii
This book has a great deal to offer to historians teaching undergraduate modules on gender, leisure, class, childhood and youth, and inter-war Britain ... Milcoy presents some important material that contributes to a re-consideration of the emergence of the 'teenager' and the ways that young women experienced leisure in inter-war England.
This is a history of leisure that takes working class girls seriously. Whilst female leisure choices were not infrequently castigated by social commentators, Milcoy shows that young women themselves grasped the opportunities available to them for pleasure. The sources are very well used and include the records of girls' organisations and a lovely collection of oral history interviews. This book is a real pleasure to read.
