Overview

In this period, women brought about change in the interrelated areas of demography, domestic community work, and wage work, altering the environments in which family life and wage work were carried out. Changes in women's living and working environments led to the development of a series of new organizational networks in the areas of fertility control, childbirth, childcare, and wage work. These changes, as described by the women and men who lived them, are evaluated in terms of their potential to alter and extend the feminist tradition and the social environments through which people organize to create the structure of their daily lives.

A text/atlas organized for fast learning, beginning with cells and progressing to tissues and organs. It presents over 100 matched pairs of light micrographs and electron micrographs of serial sections of the same specimen, each shown at the same magnification and with identical labels. Through an examination of the process of environmental change as an important part of gender relations and socio-economic activity, Mackenzie shows how the environmental activity of women both increased the visibility of their historical creativity and altered existing environments in the resort city of Brighton, England during the decades between the end of the Second World War and the early 1980s.
