Paper abstract bibtex

In 1943, during the second world war, the Women's Group on Public Welfare published Our Towns: A Close-Up. Written by eight women who were all active in health visiting, teaching or voluntary bodies, it was set to influence social reform. The original aim was to examine the enormous number of complaints made about working-class evacuees sent from areas likely to be bombed, to safer, often more prosperous places. Many children were accused of being verminous, enuretic, lacking clothing, and badly behaved. Mothers who accompanied younger children were said to be "given to drinking and frequenting public houses, and loose in their morals". It's time for another Our Towns, and I nominate these eight women to write it: Josephine Feaney, children's writer and carer for a young woman with severe learning difficulties; Loretta Gaffney of the Easterhouse Citizens Advice; Audrey Flannagan, who runs a food bank; TUC leader Francis O'Grady; Karen Postle, a social worker who focuses on the poor; Jo Tunnard, who specialises in preventing poor children going into care; Tricia Zippel, a long-serving community worker; and Sally Young of the Newcastle Council for Voluntary Service.
