Introductions needed to women who travelled from Northern Ireland to work in the U.K. during the Second World War. I’m completing a Ph.D. thesis on the impact of the Second World War on women in Dublin and Belfast using oral history interviews as the basis for my research. These interviews are with so-called ‘ordinary women’, whose experiences have generally been omitted from the writing of history. Until relatively recently, the gender division of social roles had a largely negative impact on the writing of history because it contributed to the invisibility of women, who were not considered to have played a significant part in the shaping of events. This was especially true of women who worked outside their homes, because the workplace was designated as a masculine sphere in which class issues were defined by the perception of the male worker as breadwinner. |
