Elizabeth Andrews was one of the most influential female political
activists of the early 20th century; she cared desperately for the
suffering she saw around her and vowed to change the lot of miners'
wives and mothers in the South Wales valleys. First published in
1957, the book highlights their hard, relentless lives as they
coped with overcrowded houses, poor sanitation and the tragically
high death rate among their children--it is a rare firsthand
account of a childhood and family life in the Rhondda at the end of
the 19th century. It describes the pioneering work that led to
Andrews becoming the Labour Party's first Women's Organiser for
Wales from 1919 to 1947. In this new edition, her newspaper
articles on poverty and its impact on mining families are included
to give further insight into the struggles of women and the working
class for a better life.

Inspired by the reading and writing habits of citizens leading up
to the French Revolution, The Writing Public is a compelling
addition to the long-running debate about the link between the
Enlightenment and the political struggle that followed. Elizabeth
Andrews Bond scoured France's local newspapers spanning the two
decades prior to the Revolution as well as its first three years,
shining a light on the letters to the editor. A form of early
social media, these letters constituted a lively and ongoing
conversation among readers. Bond takes us beyond the glamorous
salons of the intelligentsia into the everyday worlds of the
craftsmen, clergy, farmers, and women who composed these letters.
As a result, we get a fascinating glimpse into who participated in
public discourse, what they most wanted to discuss, and how they
shaped a climate of opinion. The Writing Public offers a novel
examination of how French citizens used the information press to
form norms of civic discourse and shape the experience of
revolution. The result is a nuanced analysis of knowledge
production during the Enlightenment. Thanks to generous funding
from The Ohio State University Libraries and its participation in
TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of
this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes, available on
the Cornell University Press website and other Open Access
repositories.
