Minding Children, Managing Men - Conflict and Compromise in the Lives of Postwar Pakeha Women

Brigit Williams Books, 1992. In good used condition.
In Minding Children, Managing Men Helen May has used the life experiences of 24 women, and
contemporary commentary from sources such as the New Zealand Listener and The New
Zealand Woman's Weekly, to examine the articulation between prescription and reality
in the decades following the Second World War. The lives of women who reached
adulthood and reared children during the 1940s and 1950s are contrasted with the
experiences of a 'transitional generation of women who came of age in the 1960s and
1970s.
