Our Mothers' Land: Chapters in Welsh Women's… von Angela V. John
A very readable and entertaining look as aspects of Welsh Women's History. If I took one thing away from this book it was the shocking statistic that amongst women of child-bearing age the death rate was higher than that of the men of working age during the height of the coal extraction years. It was more dangerous to be a coal-miner's wife than to be a coal-miner.
