Abstract:
This title adopts a multi-dimensional approach to explore women's lives in context of de-industrialisation and the transition to a service-sector, leisure-based economy. The themes of mobility and transformation occupy centre stage, as the book explores the ways in which gender and class may be reconfigured in changing times
