Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Full of dignity, courage and humour, and as fresh and insightful as the day it was written, FENWOMEN is a vital portrait of rural women's lives - not only as they were lived in the 1970s in one Cambridgeshire village, but in the generations before it, all over the country, and reaching forward into today's world, too' MELISSA HARRISON
Mary Coe recalls summers spent gleaning in the fields, laudanum-soothed babies strapped to their mothers' backs. Ann Sharman, married and pregnant at seventeen, imagines another life outside the village. Eighty-six-year-old Sybil Hayhoe looks back with pride at her years in service, while the village postwoman is sharply aware of her unequal wages. Girls aspire to be housewives, hairdressers or nurses - except Fiona, who dreams of training horses.
Told through the voices of ordinary women, Mary Chamberlain's portrait of an isolated village in the Cambridgeshire Fens remains as vital and thought-provoking as on its groundbreaking publication in 1975. A feminist answer to Ronald Blythe's Akenfield, it vividly captures the rhythms, hopes and tensions of women's lives in a working-class rural community, and offers a unique snapshot of an almost-vanished England.

Recenzii
Remarkable . . . a fascinating snapshot of tough rural lives
A pioneering work of oral history . . . [A] pathbreaking work of history
INTRODUCED BY ALEXANDRA HARRIS
Fenwomen is a vivid social and oral history of one isolated Fens village, told through the voices of the women who lived there. The lives and memories it records stretch back for almost a century, creating a unique portrait of work, marriage, struggles and hopes in a rural working-class community where most women lived their entire lives within the area, intermarriage was common, and a single family had owned all the village land.
A unique snapshot of a vanished England, and of the deeply traditional rhythms that still governed rural life in the second half of the twentieth century, Fenwomen continues to give voice to women who have so often been unheard. A feminist counterpart to Ronald Blyth's Akenfield, it was the inspiration behind Caryl Churchill's award-winning play Fen, and was the first book ever published by Virago.
