Mothers, Wives and Changing Lives: Women in Mid-Twentieth-Century Rural Wales

Product Description 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.
