À propos de la quatrième de couverture
'Witty, clever and warm-hearted, Jobs for the Girls is a book to remind women of how universal our experiences were' Melanie Reid, The Times
Drawn from real life, from interviews with women from all sections of society who have ever had a job, this book is a portrait of British women's working lives from 1950, through cardigans and pearls, via mini-skirts and bottom-pinching, to shoulder pads and the ping of the first emails (early 1990s), never forgetting overalls, aprons and uniforms.
'Terrific... What struck me, as I devoured the recollections of 200-plus women, is how recently all this thwarting of female lives went on... How poignant and powerful is this secret history as it tells us her story' Daily Telegraph
'I actually do not know of any writer alive in the English language who is cleverer, more observant or who has told us more about ourselves' A.N. Wilson, Spectator
