Life and Death in Higher Education

By: Clare Debenham

At its peak in 1961 there we're 40,000 men and women who entered colleges of education compared to 50,000 who entered traditional universities. This controversial project critically traces the origins of the colleges, their development and reasons for their abrupt closure. Current debates are addressed such as school versus college training and the balance between academic and professional training and the balance between academic and professional training (where the academic training should take place). Social issues are analysed such as the role of women in colleges (links to the suffrage movement), social mobility (working class teacher), control and rebellion (how far were the colleges total institutions), student life (sport and transnationalism.) Oral history is used. As well as drawing on my personal experience, thirty former colleges of educations students were interviewed, the oldest being 101years and including Estelle Morris, former Labour Party Education Secretary. Shortly before he died Professor Asa Briggs lamented to me that there was no public debate about the closures of colleges of education and the restructuring of higher education. Now secret meetings and documents are exposed. The role of government is researched. Archival material from individual colleges, local and national government is traced ad former civil servants interviewed. Margaret Thatchers' role in the closures is re-assessed. This new evidence contradicts the Official version of events which was the closures were on educational rather than administrative grounds.

Marie Stopes’ Sexual Revolution and the Birth Control Movement

By: Clare Debenham

This book examines the life, work and contraversial achievements of Marie Stopes, author and pioneer of the birth control movement in the interwar period. As the centenary of the ground-breaking publication of Married Love approaches, this study traces and reassesses Marie’s remarkable achievements, considering the literary, scientific and political themes of her life’s work. Clare Debenham analyses how Stope’s personal life led her to turn away from palaeobotany to concentrate on transforming the country’s sexual relationships by writing Married Love. Utilising extensive unpublished archive research, biographies, letters, and interviews with her friends and relatives, Debenham demonstrates that Stopes's work on sexual relationships has overshadowed her considerable achievements including her scientific career as a paleaobotantist, her literary success in the interwar period, and her work, with help from suffragists, in establishing the first British birth control clinic.

Poor Girls

Meet the female Peaky Blinders in this gripping and darkly funny thriller

By: Clare Whitfield

Funny, fast-paced and dark... with dialogue that absolutely crackles' ELODIE HARPER 'A brave, bold novel' ARAMINTA HALL Men steal everything. Now we want our share. 1922. Twenty-four-year-old Eleanor Mackridge is horrified by the future mapped out for her – to serve the upper classes or find a husband. During the war, she found freedom in joining the workforce at home, but now women are being put back in their place. Until Eleanor crosses paths with a member of the notorious female-led gang the Forty Elephants: bold women who wear diamonds and fur, drink champagne and gin, who take what they want without asking. Now, she sees a new future for herself: she can serve, marry – or steal. After all, men will only let you down. Diamonds are forever. In Poor Girls, Clare Whitfield exposes the criminal underbelly of 1920s London – but this isn't a morality tale, it's an adventure for the willingly wicked. 'Memorable, outrageous and full of heart. Loved it – every time I put it down I couldn't wait to pick it up again.' ELENI KYRIACOU 'Wonderfully roguish characters, and great period detail. Really enjoyable.' IAN MOORE 'A richly vivid and picaresque masterwork, Poor Girls is by turns humorous, horrifying and humane.' TOM MEAD 'A compulsive read... A real page turner.' CAITLIN DAVIES Join the growing fans of the Forty Elephants... 'Clare Whitfield's best book to date.' Reader Review 'What a ride, this book is so much fun.' Reader Review 'Will make you laugh but also shed a tear.' Reader Review 'I highly recommend it to anyone drawn to tales of resilience, ambition, and rebellion.' Reader Review 'Such a brilliant book, everyone should read it!' Reader Review 'Glamorous and uncompromising.' Reader review

Labour and the Countryside

The Politics of Rural Britain 1918-1939

By: Clare V. J. Griffiths

The common reputation of the British Labour Party has always been as 'a thing of the town', an essentially urban phenomenon which has failed to engage with the rural electorate or identify itself with rural issues. Yet during the inter-war years, Labour viewed the countryside as a crucial electoral battleground - even claiming that the party could never form a majority administration without winning a significant number of seats across rural Britain. Committing itself to a series of campaigns in rural areas during the 1920s and 30s, Labour developed a rural and often specifically agricultural programme on which to attract new support and members. Labour and the Countryside takes this forgotten chapter in the party's history as a starting point for a fascinating and wide-ranging re-examination of the relationship between the British Left and rural Britain. The first account of this aspect of Labour's history, this book draws on extensive research across a wide variety of original source material, from local party minutes and trade union archives to the records of Labour's first two periods in government. Historical, literary, and visual representations of the countryside are also examined, along with newspapers, magazines, and propaganda materials. In reconstructing the contexts within which Labour attempted to redefine itself as a voice for the countryside, the resulting study presents a fresh perspective on the political history of the inter-war years.

Birth Control and the Rights of Women

Post-Suffrage Feminism in the Early Twentieth Century

By: Clare Debenham

After the granting of the vote to women in 1918, the struggle for women's rights intensified with a nationwide campaign for the right to birth control. This campaign was met with a great deal of hostility; it threatened to overturn Victorian ideas about female sexuality, female empowerment and the traditional roles within the family. The most well known of the campaigners, scientist and early feminist Marie Stopes, opened clinics across England which fitted 'contraception caps' to women for free. The first history of this grassroots social movement, Birth Control and the Rights of Women offers a window into the social and cultural history of the period, and features new archival material in the forms of memoirs, personal papers and press cuttings. This is an essential contribution to the influential field of women's history and a vital addition to the history of feminism.
