内容与作者简介

About this book

Between 1945 and the new century millions of women, including mothers and migrants, joined the labour force. These changes are brought to life through the stories of migrant women, working in factories and hospitals, banks, care homes, shops and universities over a period of 60 years.

Migrant Women's Voices is an autobiography of the post-war period as Britain became a multi-cultural society and waged work the norm for most women. McDowell illustrates the shift in migration patterns as post-imperial migrants to the UK replaced the immediate post-war pattern of migrants from war-torn Europe and who were then themselves joined by migrants from an increasingly diverse range of countries as the 20th century drew to a close.

关于本书

1945年至新世纪期间，数百万女性，包括母亲和移民，加入了劳动力大军。通过移民女性的故事，本书生动展现了她们在60年间在工厂、医院、银行、养老院、商店和大学等场所工作的经历。

《移民女性的声音》是战后英国发展为多元文化社会、且有偿工作成为大多数女性常态的一部自传式记录。麦克道尔描绘了移民模式的转变：首先是来自战争创伤的欧洲的战后移民，随后是后帝国时期的移民，而在20世纪即将结束时，来自越来越多不同国家的移民也加入其中。
