Mothers, Wives and Changing Lives - Women in Mid-twentieth-century Rural Wales

Klappentext Despite the great changes that the twentieth century brought to the lives and roles of the women of rural Wales! there has been scant attention paid to the topic by social scientists and historians! even within Wales. "Mothers! Wives and Changing Lives" rectifies that mistake! drawing on a wealth of family stories about women's roles in education! the church! and the family in order to address significant gaps in our knowledge of women and Welsh culture. Zusammenfassung The role of women in the recent history of Wales is an area that has received scant attention from social scientists and historians. This book will therefore seek to fill that gap by drawing upon the family stories told about women's roles in education! the chapel and the family to address some of the important gaps in the knowledge base.
