Description: In 1965, at the age of twenty - nine the young sociologist Hannah Gavron took her own life. A year later the book based on the research she carried out for her thesis was published as The Captive Wife. Based on first - hand accounts of the lives of working - class and middle - class women in Kentish Town in London it was one of the earliest works of British sociological feminism and has since become a feminist classic. Arguing that motherhood stripped women of independence as it often brought an end to paid work Gavron explores how their values and aspirations as women came into conflict with the traditional role they had to play as mothers. Written in simple prose and fair - minded in its approach it became an inspirational book for many mothers feminists and activists seeking equality for women and remains a vital book today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Ann Oakley.
