Graham Crow beautifully illuminates the personal, political, intellectual and creative tapestry of Ann Oakley's extensive and wide-ranging work and legacy. A real delight. -- Gayle Letherby, Visiting Professor Universities of Plymouth, Greenwich and Bath A revealing and fascinating analysis of Ann Oakley's work which shows the links between the personal and the political and how both contributed to an extremely important contribution to feminist sociology. -- Nickie Charles, Professor and Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender, University of Warwick Graham Crow’s intellectual biography of Ann Oakley provides an accessible and insightful account of her key conceptual, methodological, and policy-relevant contributions across the course of Oakley’s long career. It is essential reading for those who may be unaware of the breadth of her ambitious and agenda-setting contributions to what and how we know about the social world. Crow’s deeply informed account manages the task of reviewing Oakley’s pre-occupations and extensive outputs, and placing them in the context of an assessment of wider academic and social shifts and movements. It is a skilful introduction to the woman and her work. -- Ros Edwards, Professor of Sociology, University of Southampton The Emerald Guide to Ann Oakley is very informative. It has really helped me develop my understanding of several key areas of sociology including gender socialisation, education and qualitative research methods -- Ruby McCann, A level student
