The book explores the significant transformations in English family life from the end of the Great War to the conclusion of the Thatcher era. It examines how events like the Depression and World War II reshaped societal norms and family dynamics, alongside the impacts of the Welfare State, the Pill, and the Women's Liberation movement. The narrative highlights how issues once deemed scandalous, such as abortion, contraception, single parenthood, and same-sex relationships, have become normalized in contemporary society.
