Landscape for a Good Woman: A Story of Two Lives

Carolyn Steedman

4.9/5 (34920 ratings)

Description:There are lives, real lives, and there are the theories that explain them. Partly autobiographical, taking a mother and her daughter; two working-class childhoods (Burnley in the 1920s, South London in the 1950s) and trying to find a place for their stories in history and politics, in psychoanalysis and feminism. What happens to cultural criticism when you confront it with working-class women and little girls? What happens when psychoanalysis is asked to look at women who don't possess the wish for a child? And what happens to theories of patriarchy when autobiography deals with a working-class father who isn't important in the world outside the household? This book is about the centrality of some stories and the marginality of others, and about the stories we tell ourselves to explain our lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
