Helen McCarthy

Good morning! It’s publication day for Double Lives, my history of working motherhood in modern Britain. If you’re interested in women, work, feminism, childcare, Shirley Conran or I Don’t Know How She Does It!, please read on (and retweet if you can) bloomsbury.com/uk/double-live…

Very excited for @JamesChappel's keynote lecture, 12th Sep @ghilondon on Atlantic Aging: The Transnational History of Old Age, 1900 - Present. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/atlantic-agi… @Eventbrite

And find me on Blue Sky too. (Henceforth I shall be checking my 'socials', plural)

I've joined Threads, so if you are over there feel free to say hello to the new girl. (Still HistorianHelen)
