The volume describes women's activities in many different areas, ranging from the weekly wash to the rescue of child refugees. Each essay, from an international list of contributors, is based on new research which will complement existing studies in a range of disciplines by adding information on, among other topics, women's teacher training colleges, and women in the BBC, in medical laboratories and in Art schools. The book does not, however, idealise women: the militarism and racism of the period infected women too, and this is revealed in the account of women in the British Union of Fascists, and the analysis of the Pankhursts' merging of patriotism and gender issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough studies and personal accounts, \u003ci\u003eThis Working-Day World\u003c\/i\u003e reveals past issues that are still pertinent to debates\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018957881687,"sku":"9781032301754","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032301754.jpg?v=1750778820","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/this-workingday-world-9781032301754","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
