Hello, I hope you've all been ok since i last used this forum - which was quite a while ago
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction of some information about the role of women pre 20th century to help me with my research of how women were treated during the time in which David Copperfield was set.
I need to write about all classes and i know that its mainly focused on domestic staff and prostitution, but any information would be really appreciated =]

*Oh and a while ago i put a topic about a classical civilizations course that was running at our school but i didn't really know much about it. If anyone has the chance to take it I'd recommend it 100%, its a fantastic course and its so interesting. At the moment we're reading Homer's the odyssey and going into how different aspects of Greek culture, religion and mythology have effected it. It so interesting! aaaa its the best subject I've ever taken :lol:

and i cant wait till a certain trip to Pompeii and Rome *

Thank You very much for any help, it'd really help me out
You don't realise how much more work you get when you get into GCSE topics till your actually there D:
Have a great day

Hey :]
That was truely strange i was digging into the internet, found a website i thought would be quite useful and found that you'd posted it here 10 minutes ago :rolleyes:

Thankyou so much for those, i didnt expect to find it that hard to find what i was exaclty looking for and the newspaper report was that (i am not worthy) thankyou
just another quick question, relating to english again i'm afraid
i was just trying to find out the attitudes towards inoscence, sex, and wealth during the 1950's
I'm doing some background research into the book the catcher in the rye and its highly influenced by society after the war.
Thankyou *sorry for being a pain*
