A Daughter of the State Item Info
- Title:
- A Daughter of the State
- Description:
- A Daughter of the State is an autobiography of Kathleen Dalley’s experiences growing up in a workhouse children’s home in London during the 1920s and 1930s. In this four part book, Dalley offers a raw look into the lives of working class girls, the replacement of the family dynamic with the state, and her journey towards feeling genuine love. A Daughter of the State is not only an autobiography, but a piece of history that shines light on a taboo subject. After devoting her entire adult life to professional child care, Dalley wrote the book in part to bring attention to the continued abuse of children raised by the state, and to break this cycle of abuse.
