About this audiobook

Woman's Hour: A Celebration of Mothers is an audiobook that looks at the changing role of mothers over the last fifty years; the relationships that they have enjoyed with their children, how they have juggled the work life balance and how they have challenged the stereotypes and tested the boundaries of what being a mother means. For example the mothers who have worked for peace in Northern Ireland and those who are campaigning against the gun culture or the women who won the right and the facilities to be allowed to be able to stay with their sick children in hospital.
