Social mobility, educational priority areas and equality of
opportunity are topics discussed as much today as when this book
was first published over 30 years ago. This book is written by
people of varying ages and professions who have broken through from
poor social beginnings, deprived backgrounds and many disadvantages
into a high level of professional achievement. Starting in working
class or slum environments in areas such as Sheffield, Wales,
Manchester, Leeds, Huddersfield, London, Glasgow and Birmingham
they describe their struggles and the ways in which they attempted
to over-come their earlier deprivations. The descriptions in this
volume are illustrations of potential which is present in the most
unpromising beginnings.
