She was an outstanding social scientist, an architect of the welfare state, an iconoclast who challenged conventional wisdoms and the first woman to sit on the Woolsack in the House of Lords. Ann Oakley has written a fascinating and highly readable account of the life and work of this singular woman, but the book goes much further. It is an engaged account of the making of British social policy at a critical period seen through the lens of the life and work of a pivotal figure. Oakley tells a story about the intersections of the public and the private and about the way her subject's life unfolded within, was shaped by, and helped to shape a particular social and intellectual context."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aIntellectuals 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aSocial scientists 606 $aSociologists 606 $aWomen intellectuals 606 $aWomen social scientists 606 $aWomen sociologists 606 $2Social services & welfare, criminology 607 $aGreat Britain 615 0$aIntellectuals. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aSocial scientists. 615 0$aSociologists. 615 0$aWomen intellectuals. 615 0$aWomen social scientists. 615 0$aWomen sociologists. 676 $a300.92 700 $aOakley$b Ann$0142863 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214900903316 996 $aCritical Woman$91802461 997 $aUNISA
