Many people read & commented on drafts and we’re very grateful for their assistance, and to The Historical Journal for a supportive and very positive publishing process. Our focus is on modern Britain owing to space constraints but we hope the article is useful to scholars of motherhood elsewhere.
Voices of Motherhood
Really pleased that my co-authored article with @ruthdav.bsky.social has just been published. We review the vast historiography of motherhood in modern Britain, and argue for the importance of motherhood (broadly defined) as a category of historical analysis: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A huge thank you to all volunteers who give so much to the museum. Our schools and groups leave happier with your expertise, our events run better, our office is brighter (the biscuit tin fuller), and we know so much more about our collections with your help.
#VolunteersWeek
I am really looking forward to talking about my research and (so very nearly completed) book on women’s welfare activism at the CBH seminar on 24th June at IHR. If you are in London then do come along would be lovely to see you. www.history.ac.uk/news-events/...
The garden will include a traditional physic garden, and we will be building a volunteer team to help care for this in the future. To get involved please contact Louise Price at [email protected].
I spoke about the history of passing in relation to invisible disabilities, chronic illnesses and neurodivergence - if anyone else is currently thinking about these themes, I would love to chat!
