Social class

I have been thinking and writing about social class, and living the realities of social class, for years now.

In my writing (academic and otherwise) I have discussed class related issues such as these:

• Working-class women writers 
• Autobiographies by working-class women
• Radical women
• The historical under-representation of working-class people in literature
• The negative aspects of capitalism - competitiveness, selfishness, materialism.
• The 1980s and Margaret Thatcher's damaging ethos of the individual.
• The underachievement of working-class people in education and further education
• Prejudice and discrimination against working-class people, including negative attitudes towards regional accents.
• Socialism and the idea of community and shared responsibility

Following in the tradition and genre of working-class women writers, I am currently attempting to write my own autobiography
