Synopsis
Work, sex, love, loss and own goals. Twenty-First century women have it all. We can do what we want, when we want and with whom we want. Can't we? Bit on the Side is a collection of life stories by women in their 20s-70s. From novelists to DJs, horsewomen to academics, broadcasters to chefs. This book is how we live now: our desires, discontents, ambitions and commitments. Challenging sterotypes of domestic goddesses, 'oldies', 'singletons', hippies, footballers, DJs, and mistresses. Bit on the Side reports and reflects on new identities with wit and verve. And while not claiming to have 'the answers', the writing here offers fresh views on the politics of sex and gender in Britain today. Contributors: Patricia Duncker, Robyn ap Gwilym, Holly Howitt, Layla Javero, Catherine Johnson, Liz Jones, Sadie Kiernan, Carol Lee, Caryl Lewis, Hayley Long, Jo Mazelis, Mavis Nicholson, Anne Rowe, Rachel Tresize, Charmian Saville, Rose Wilkins.
