The Stepney Doorstep Society: The remarkable true story of the women who ruled the East End through war and peace (Themes In British Social History) by Kate Thompson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 14 MB
Overview: The unsung and remarkable stories of the women who held London’s East End together during not one, but two world wars.
Minksy, Gladys, Beatty, Joan, Girl Walker. While the men were at war, these women ruled the streets of the East End. Brought up with firm hand in the steaming slums and teeming tenements, they struggled against poverty to survive, and fought for their community in our country’s darkest hours.
But there was also joy to be found. From Stepney to Bethnal Green, Whitechapel to Shoreditch, the streets were alive with peddlers and market stalls hawking their wares, children skipping across dusty hopscotch pitches, the hiss of a gas lamp or the smell of oxtail stew. You need only walk a few steps for a smile from a neighbour or a strong cup of tea.
