In this paper, I analyse how deindustrialisation and individualism changed the structure and culture of family life in working-class families in Britain's coalfields in the decades after 1945.Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite travaille en particulier sur l'expérience des femmes dans la grève des mineurs de 1984-1985 https://www.coalfield-women.org
