This book examines accounts of gender issues and feminism given by three cohorts of women and shows the primacy of age as a source of gender, diversity and difference.
’...a fascinating analysis of changing attitudes to the domestic division of labour, social issues and feminism during the twentieth century ...This study is unique and provides considerable insight into the everyday lives of families across the generations. It deserves to be widely read and enjoyed by academics and students alike.’ Teresa Rees, Professor of Labour Market Studies, University of Bristol, UK ’The overwhelming learning’s towards individualism found in this study have important implications for a feminist perspective based on women as a collectivity. Pilcher proves that women’s accounts of gender issues are important in their own right and must be adhered to if a future feminist politics is to thrive and be relevant to women of all ages.’ Work, Employment and Society
