WOMEN, SOCIAL LEADERSHIP, AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR: CONTINUITIES OF CLASS

by James Hinton

Published by Oxford University Press. 1st. 2002

Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The author questions the view that the Second World War served to democratize English society and shows how the war enabled middle-class social leaders to reinforce their claims to authority. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine.

A lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is scuffed to rear panel.
