Eve Worth is Junior Research Fellow in History, St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford, UK.
In this outstanding book, Eve Worth revisions the history of class, gender and the British welfare state by centring the lives of women born in the long 1940s. Writing with exceptional lucidity and authority, Worth succeeds brilliantly in recasting existing narratives of social and political change in contemporary Britain. --Helen McCarthy, Reader in Modern and Contemporary British History, University of Cambridge, UK.
