Exploring the evolution of family life in England from the post-Great War era to the end of the Thatcher years, the book examines how significant events like the Great Depression, World War II, and social movements such as the Women's Liberation and the introduction of the Pill reshaped societal norms. It highlights the transformation of what was once considered taboo—such as abortion, contraception, and diverse family structures—into accepted aspects of modern life, reflecting broader cultural shifts and changing values over the decades.
