I Want to Write it Down Item Info
- Title:
- I Want to Write it Down
- Description:
- I Want to Write it Down is a collection of works written by women aged eighteen to eighty in the South East London area, specifically Peckham. These writings provide a glimpse into what a woman’s life was like in 1970s London - the impacts of public spending cuts, increased unemployment, and the jobs women were forced to do based on their lack of skills and their childbearing abilities. However, on a more positive note, the book also shares how these women continued to pursue their right to education, jobs, and childcare despite their many hardships.
