Title: Vivid, intriguing, and well-researched
Product review: A Woman's Place is a vivid account of working-class women's working and family lives in three early twentieth-century English towns. Roberts researched the subject by interviewing dozens of elderly women and men, and she includes long quotations that lend poignancy to her work. The book focuses on the details of everyday life (like how to scrub a stoop and how teenagers networked to find jobs), but I was also intrigued by Roberts's argument that working-class women perceived class conflict rather than gender conflict to be the flashpoint in their lives.
