A book about "ordinary" people that proves there is no such thing, this collection of articles and letters is taken from the early 20th-century, interactive Cooperative Correspondence Club magazine a sort of pre-war mums.net. From miscarriage to orgasms, socialism to darning to war, this moving, funny, often astonishing chronicle of real women's joys and agonies shows how much has changed, and how much is still the same.
