Concerning Women Considering Children
Helen May tells a selection of stories and provides some historical context and insight into a range of events and situations that, from the inception of the Childcare Association, confronted an organisation which:
- engaged in emancipatory politics of social justice for women, children and their families,
- worked on the broad front to change attitudes and create a policy framework for childcare,
- created in the short-term its own programmes to give children in childcare a better experience, and
- provided on an every (day – week – year) basis, training, support and information to those who were workers, managers or users of childcare. This edition includes an additional chapter covering the decade 2003-2013
