Synopsis

Mary Chamberlain's now classic work FENWOMEN was first published in 1975. It is a fascinating social and oral history of the lives of the women of Gislea, an isolated village in the Fens.The village women, from the very young to the very old, talk to mary Chamberlain about their lives, which spread (in memory at least) over 150 years. Their graphic accounts present an extraordinary picture of a community which had changed little over the years, and redress the balance of many rural studies of this kind, where too often the feelings and experiences of women were ignored.
