Narratives of Gender, Class, and Modernity in Women's Memories of Mid-Twentieth Century Britain. [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Discusses the life stories of Jean Slater (b. 1924) and Hannah Arkwright (b. 1920), two working-class women who grew up in Great Britain during the 1930's. The narrated memories of working-class women leads to a new understanding of the relationship between modernity and femininity. The memories of the two women presented in this article show that femininity is an artificial construct that shifts according to historical and social circumstances.
