A unique take on women's history from the bestselling author of British Summer Time Begins 'Witty, clever and warm-hearted' The Times 'Maxtone Graham [has a] unique blend of high comedy and shrewd social observation' Spectator 'Terrific' Daily Telegraph Drawn from real life, from interviews with women from all sections of society who have ever had a job, this book is a portrait of British women's working lives from 1950, through cardigans and pearls, via mini-skirts and bottom-pinching, to shoulder pads and the ping of the first emails (early 1990s), never forgetting overalls, aprons and uniforms. Graham conveys the full range of experience: to convey the flavour and atmosphere of workplaces in all their character: the jollities as well as the drudgeries, the good men as well as the vile ones, the nasty women as well as the heroines, the office crushes and romances, the daily drudgery, the lunch hours, the parties, the great piles of paper all over the place, the family-feel of workplaces, the daily burden of trying to run a household and family as well: in short, to look at all facets of this rich slice of British life. 20 b/w integrated
It’s a man’s world, at least in the world of startups. But that’s quickly changing. The number of female entrepreneurs is growing. Twenty-three percent of entrepreneurs seeking angel investing were female in 2018, up from 19 percent in 2014. Of course, women still face challenges. For example, studies show women who apply for business loans generally receive ...

ABOUT THE PRINTS The Story: A print commemorating Filipino American history. In Watsonville, CA in January 1930, riots broke out against Filipino immigrant farm workers. The local sentiment at the time was that Filipinos were supposedly taking jobs AND women away from Americans (as this was the start of the Great Depression). The riots resulted in the shooting of 22-year-old Fermin Tobera, and several other deaths by beating. May this be a solemn reminder of where we came from, our complicated relationship to the US, and how we can do better. Details: High-quality print on thick, cold press textured, 100% cotton rag fine art paper. At 300gsm and 19.5 mil and a cold-press textured surface, it has a substantial feel and weight. Note: This item is UNFRAMED. And the full preview image is lightly WATERMARKED to prevent theft, but the actual print will be UN-watermarked. - - - ABOUT THE ARTIST I'm Vania Hardy, a Filipino-American illustrator in the Lancaster, PA area.

\"Bad Jobs\" is an anthology of tales?both humorous and tragic?about the worst jobs people have ever held. This collection of stories, comics, and photographs depict, in gory true-life detail, examples of bad jobs. We all shudder at the thought of our own worst jobs-waiter, cashier, parking lot attendant-but these take the cake, demonstrating just how bad bad jobs can be. \"Bad Jobs\" is full of wry, subversive tales, comics, and assorted miscellany from the trenches of the working world. You think your job is bad? Meet: The flyer delivery guy who sees poetry in broken glass?from a beer bottle some kids threw at him. The phone sex operator who can bring a man to orgasm while reading Ms. Magazine. A customer service rep who only hates two things about her job: the customers and everything else. A one-time stripper who performs her first- and last-mainstage routine to Aretha Franklin's R-E-S-P-E-C-T. The sex-shop clerk who, when confronted by a deaf-mute demanding a dollar, makes sure he can read her lips mouthing, \"Fuck you. Get a job!\" The factory grunt who knows firsthand what really goes into \"Crushed Party Ice.\" The fabric wholesaler whose coworker insists he never raped a woman who didn't love it. The applicant whose interviewers end up breathing real hard through their noses, until she points out that half of their interview questions are illegal. An environmental canvasser who turns up in the local paper's \"Crimewatch\" column-and considers turning himself in for the reward money. By turns beautiful, surreal, hilarious, and awful, \"Bad Jobs\" will get under your skin with stories about how really awful a truly bad job can be.
Longlisted for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020 'This pioneering memoir . . . engagingly balances the highs of captaincy and grand slams with striking emotional honesty as to herregrets' Guardian Books of the Year 'Her struggle is that of women's rugby and it is told here with great honesty' Sunday Times Books of the Year Catherine Spencer was the captain of the England women's rugby team for three years. She scored eighteen tries for England, won six of the eight Six Nations competitions she took part in, and captained her team to three championship titles, a European cup, two Nations Cup tournament victories and the World Cup final held on home soil in 2010, which thrust women's rugby into the limelight. All of this while holding down a full time job, because the women's team, unlike the men's, did not get paid for their sport. Mud, Maul, Mascara is an effort to reconcile alleged opposites, to show the woman behind the international sporting success. Painfully honest about the mental struggles Catherine faced during, and after, her career as an elite athlete, it is also warm, funny and inspirational - a book for anyone who has ever had a dream, or self-doubt, or a yearning for a really good, mud-proof mascara.
