Born in the slums of Birmingham in 1903, Kathleen Dayus was brought up in extreme and often cruel poverty. Later, left a widow while she was still in her twenties, she had to give her four children into the care of Dr Barnardos homes. It took her eight years of troublesome work and determination to achieve an adequate standard of living before she was allowed to have them back. In Her People and Where There's Life, the author told the story of her life up to the return of her children. In All My Days she writes about her life in wartime Birmingham, coping with bombing, keeping her jewellery business going, and later, of her marriage and life over the last 40 years. Interspersed are heart-rending revelations of the lives of her parents and older sister.

Ingredients for Women’s Employment Policy gathers together the ideas of sociologists and economists, including both quantitative and qualitative research. Basic descriptive data gathered over the last ten to fifteen years of labor force research and affirmative action legislation indicates high rates of occupational segregation, continuing gender differentials in earnings, and inequitable divisions of household labor. This book represents an important reassessment of the complex mechanisms through which labor markets are transformed and investigates the issue of whether there has been any real progress in eradicating inequality. Each chapter assesses the likely effects of alternative policy strategies in women’s employment.
