Synopsis:
For hundreds of years modern society created an unequal society by laws which restricted women, half the population, to less than half the rights of a man. In 1918, after Suffragettes sacrificed their life for democracy, after World War One and women being brought into jobs they were previously banned from so they could balance the UK economy, the UK finally began to legalise a woman's right to democracy. What followed was 100 years of pioneers, excelling and competing to gain respect in worlds that had never seen women before.
Generation W is a collection of 100 uncensored interviews with 100 unapologetic and leading British women from all generation who answer the same ten questions about what it was like to live through the 100 years since women began to receive the vote. Reading within you will find inspiring stories and truths on how remarkable women have overcome their toughest moments and be able to discover what makes them truly happy, beyond the accolades and legacy. Generation W is one of the most intimate and inspiring books of the 21st century. Now that is on Ebook you can read it anywhere and any time.
