Britain today, three-quarters of mothers are in employment and paid
work is an unremarkable feature of women's lives after childbirth.
Yet a century ago, working mothers were in the minority, excluded
altogether from many occupations, whilst their wage-earning was
widely perceived as a social ill. In Double Lives, Helen McCarthy
accounts for this remarkable transformation and the momentous
consequences it has had for Britain. Recovering the everyday worlds
of working mothers, this groundbreaking history forces us not only
to re-evaluate the past, but to ask anew how current attitudes
towards mothers in the workplace have developed and how far we have
to go. 'Impressive and nuanced' - Guardian 'Brilliant' - Literary
