Saturday 24 November
How have the lives of mothers been changing since the Second World War and have these changes been for good or bad? Has what it means to be a mother been transformed by feminism, rising divorce rates and the growing numbers of women in the workforce?
Join Angela Davis, a historian at the University of Warwick, to hear tales of motherhood, past and present, as she presents her oral history of motherhood, Modern Motherhood: Women and Family in England, c. 1945-2000. Drawing on the themes of continuity and change we will consider what these women’s stories indicate about both the history and future of motherhood and the family in England.
