As one of Britain’s best known social historians, Juliet Gardiner writes here about the span of women’s lives from her birth during the Second World War to the mid 1980s. Using episodes from her own life as starting points to illuminate the broader history of society at large, she explores changing attitudes towards birth and adoption, the importance of education for girls, the opportunities provided by university and expectations of work and motherhood, not mention her generation’s yearning for freedom. Everyone has his or her story, and at the same time is part of history, as this book so perceptively and beautifully demonstrates.
