dc.description.abstract
This thesis looks at social change among working-class women
in Scotland, over the last hundred years, by using oral history
evidence from four generations. Six multi-generational families
form part of this generational structure.
I wanted to move away from commonly used perspectives on
working-class culture and as a consequence decided to discuss my
material by using a socio-temporal framework.
The first part of the thesis aims to present a theoretical
discussion about 'social time'. The second part consists of the
ethnographic component, women's life stories. And the final part
analyses this oral history in terms of the initial general
statements to produce salient conclusions about the nature of
working-class culture as it appeared among certain families in
Falkirk at the beginning of the 1980s.
