Gendering Women

Led by women's life history accounts of growing up and growing older in the north of England, this book shows how experiences of becoming and being a woman--in family life, education, employment, motherhood and situations of violence--both enable and erode self confidence and esteem. The challenges to women's mental wellbeing cut across age and class differences and have profound impacts on the material conditions of women's lives throughout the life course. This is in turn a driver of inequality that is often under-recognised in mainstream policy.
