Aus dem Klappentext

A unique take on women's experience from the bestselling author of British Summer Time Begins

Drawn from real life - interviews with women from all sections of society who have ever had a job - this book is an eye-opening portrait of British women 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.

Ysenda Maxtone Graham conveys the full range of experience: the flavour and atmosphere of workplaces in all their character: the jollities as well as the drudgeries, the good men as well as the vile ones, the nasty women as well as the heroines, the office crushes and romances, the daily drudgery, the lunch hours, the parties, the great piles of paper all over the place, the forging of lifelong friendships, the daily burden of trying to run a household and family as well: in short, to look at all facets of this rich slice of British life.
