Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood

byHelen McCarthy

Focused on a History of Working Motherhood, Double Lives brings Helen McCarthy's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Double Lives leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
