Changes in women's living and working environments led to the development of a series of new organizational networks in the areas of fertility control, childbirth, childcare, and wage work. These changes, as described by the women and men who lived them, are evaluated in terms of their potential to alter and extend the feminist tradition and the social environments through which people organize to create the structure of their daily lives Analysis Brighton (England) Social conditions Women Employment England Brighton Women England Brighton Social conditions Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Master and use copy.
