Reseña del libro "Women of the Working Class (en Inglés)"

The female protagonists featured in these eighteen short stories come from diverse locations and historical milieus, but they have their working-class backgrounds in common. They want more than society offers and some will fight for it.Bullied by her fellow workers at the jute factory and abused by her stepfather at home, ELLEN is a talented writer with a way with words. She dreams of becoming rich and famous and leaving her miserable existence behind.ANNIE works at the cotton mill. After an exhausting ten-hour shift, she reluctantly joins her friend for a meeting in the canteen, where Christabel Pankhurst gives a talk about women's equality and the Suffragettes.When her husband strikes with the miners, ANGIE joins the Women Against Pit Closures Movement. Things will never be the same.In the last story, the narrator retraces a childhood walk home from school-past familiar landmarks: castle ruins and an old framework knitter's cottage. Personal memories mingle with radical history.From the jute mills of Dundee to the factories of London's East End to the coastline of Cornwall, in this collection the author re-imagines the lives of these incredible working-class protagonists and examines the changing position of women over the last century.
