These changes are brought to life through the stories of migrant women, working in factories and hospitals, banks, care homes, shops and universities over a period of 60 years. Migrant Women's Voices is an autobiography of the post-war period as Britain became a multi-cultural society and waged work the norm for most women. McDowell illustrates the shift in migration patterns as post-imperial migrants to the UK replaced the immediate post-war pattern of migrants from war-torn Europe and who were then themselves joined by migrants from an increasingly diverse range of countries as the 20th century drew to a close."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aEmigration and immigration$zGreat Britain 606 $aWomen migrant labor$zGreat Britain 606 $aWomen$xEmployment$zGreat Britain 606 $2History 615 0$aEmigration and immigration 615 0$aWomen migrant labor 615 0$aWomen$xEmployment 676 $a304.841009045 700 $aMcDowell$b Linda$f1949-$0275981 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811371503321 996 $aMigrant women's voices$93989247 997 $aUNINA
