This book explores the lives of British women and examines the issues femininity, Britishness, inter-communal relations and social cohesion.

Reviews

'The book is outstanding. It is theoretically and methodologically robust, and also written in a clear voice that will be accessible to undergrads as well as the literate public. Given the strength of the edifice of mystification, it remains to be seen how much can actually be chipped off.' - Katherine Bullock, Journal of International Women's Studies, 14(3), 324-325 (2013).
