Father and daughter : patriarchy, gender, and social science Oakley, Ann Policy Press, Policy Press, Bristol, 2014
Father and daughter provides an unique ‘insider perspective'on two key figures in twentieth-century British social science. Ann Oakley, a highly respected sociologist and best-selling writer, draws on her own life and that of her father, Richard Titmuss, a well-known policy analyst and defender of the welfare state, to offer an absorbing view of the connections between private lives and public work. Using an innovative mix of biography, autobiography, intellectual history, archives, and personal interviews, some of which have not been previously available to the public, she provides a compelling narrative about gender, patriarchy, methodology, and the politics of memory and identity. This fascinating analysis defies the usual social science publications to offer a truly distinctive account which will be of wide interest.

Women, Peace and Welfare : A Suppressed History of Social Reform, 1880-1920 Oakley, Ann Bristol University Press, 1st, Bristol, 2018
Long before the earliest welfare systems were put into place, women were researching the conditions of social and economic life in Western nations, and their research would go on to inform the nascent welfare state in the early part of the twentieth century. In Women, Peace and Welfare, Ann Oakley delves deep into the forgotten work of these women, focusing on the period between 1880 and 1920, and uses their stories to bring together the histories of social reform, social science, welfare, and pacifism. Oakley shows how their efforts, connected through thriving transnational networks, came to be a source for the earliest attempts to build the modern welfare state - and she reveals how their powerful vision of a more humane way of living can continue to inspire us today. -- Provided by publisher.

lgli/Gavron 2024 The Captive Wife.pdf
The Captive Wife (Routledge Classics) Hannah Gavron & Ann Oakley Routledge, 2024
In 1965, at the age of twenty-nine, the young sociologist Hannah Gavron took her own life. A year later, the book based on the research she carried out for her thesis was published as The Captive Wife . Based on first-hand accounts of the lives of working-class and middle-class women in Kentish Town in London, it was one of the earliest works of British, sociological feminism and has since become a feminist classic. Arguing that motherhood stripped women of independence as it often brought an end to paid work, Gavron explores how their values and aspirations as women came into conflict with the traditional role they had to play as mothers. Written in simple prose and fair-minded in its approach, it became an inspirational book for many mothers, feminists and activists seeking equality for women and remains a vital book today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Ann Oakley.

Who's afraid of feminism? : seeing through the backlash edited by Ann Oakley and Juliet Mitchell Penguin Books Ltd, London, England, 1998
The progress in women's rights brought about by the feminist activism of the 1960s through the early 1980s is today confronted with a major political backlash. For Who's Afraid of Feminism?, editors Ann Oakley and Juliet Mitchell have commissioned new work by Carol Gilligan, Carolyn Heilbrun, and a distinguished, international group of feminist thinkers to explore the diverse territories that feminist thought and activism have affected over recent years, and the new questions that have arisen during that process.

Fantasy long has been a vehicle that women have used to express their creative diversity and free themselves from a male-dominated literary establishment. This collection contains 38 short stories written by women from 1941 to the present. Acclaimed fantasists, such as Anne McCaffrey, Ursula Le Guin, and Lisa Tuttle, are joined by new voices from four continents as well as writers better known for other fictions, such as Joyce Carol Oates, Fay Weldon, and P.D. James. They explore every aspect of the weird and the macabre, of emotion and eroticism, allowing readers to discover the range and complexity of well-written fantasy.

Taking it like a woman Oakley, Ann Random House, Incorporated, 1st ed., New York, New York State, 1984
Ann Oakley is one of the foremost feminist writers today. In her autobiography she describes the events which made her a feminist and the kind of mother, wife, academic and writer she is. 'This book is about my life, but it is also about others,' she writes, and in this honest, sometimes painful, and absorbing account of her life so far in the second half of the twentieth century, every woman will find some reflection of her own personality and feelings.Ann Oakley's life has encompassed great achievements, and powerful crises - including a breakdown and serious illness. Interwoven with the account of her own life is the description of a haunting love affair which raises many unsolved problems faced by women today. Ann Oakley's life has never embraced easy answers, and her book, written with clarity and inner perception, encourages us to understand that living with contradictions is not such a bad way of life after all.'a contrary, combative and often appallingly funny account...

Gender on Planet Earth Oakley, Ann New York: The New Press: Distributed by W.W. Norton & Company, Illustrated, PT, 2003
<p>In Gender on Planet Earth, influential author, social scientist and iconoclastic feminist Ann Oakley argues that men and women have inherited and reinforce a system of gender differences that has a destructive effect on them, their shared humanity and the planet. By showing us how every aspect of our lives is dominated by male/female power structures, she forces us to take a step back and see how and why gender inequality has thrown our society out of balance.</p> <h3>Publishers Weekly</h3> <p>British sociologist Oakley admits her book will satisfy only some of the people some of the time. Yet there are bound to be some who it will not satisfy at all, as her passionate commitment to make the future "a better time for both the planet and for us" is undermined by this scattershot compendium. A pioneer theorist of gender studies, particularly women's work, Oakley wants readers to see "the relationships between many of the world's current social problems, on the one hand, and ideas and practices relating to femininity and masculinity, on the other." What she offers, though, is a catchall mixture of expert and nonexpert opinions, personal narrative, statistical recitation and historical diversions, entertaining and informative but ultimately out of control. The link between personal narrative (e.g., a bicycle ride, an encounter with a flasher, a day at the park with her grandchildren) and Oakley's grand theme is strained, while the statistics and historical references seem random. All is grist for Oakley's theme-violence, vegetarianism, postmodernism, housework, crime, women's liberation, children's books, transportation, cross dressing, the backlash to the women's liberation movement, grandparenthood, in vitro fertilization, cocaine, shopping, psychoanalysis, agriculture, science fiction-indeed, wherever her eye falls, she sees the link between what's wrong with the world and socially constructed gender. In her attempt to "think laterally, rather than compartmentally," Oakley fails to make her case for a unified theory of gender. (Feb. 13) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.</p>

Private complaints and public health : Richard Titmuss on the National Health Service : a reader Ann Oakley (editor); Jonathan Barker (editor) Policy Press, 1, 20040630
Richard Titmuss was one of the 20th century's foremost social policy theorists. This accessible Reader is the first compendium of his work on public health, health promotion and health inequalities. Most of Titmuss's work has been out of print for many years. This volume, like its predecessor, Welfare and wellbeing (The Policy Press, 2001), is important in bringing the work of this highly influential thinker to the attention of a new generation of social policy students and policy makers. It also enhances current debates about how complex societies can best provide for the health of all their citizens.

Social Support and Motherhood (Reissue): The Natural History of a Research Project Oakley, Ann Policy Press, Bristol, UK, 2019
Drawing on her long experience as an academic researcher and writer, Ann Oakley develops a sociology of the research process itself, telling the story of how a research project is undertaken and what happens during it, to both researchers and those who are researched. This remarkable book focuses on a topic of great importance in the provision of health services – caring and social support. Setting neglect of this topic in the wider context of an ongoing crisis in gendering knowledge, Social support and motherhood is now reissued for a contemporary audience. It has much resonance for social science researchers and others interested in the experiences of mothers, and in the relations between social research, academic knowledge and public policy.

The Sociology Of Housework (reissue) Ann Oakley Policy Press, Policy Press, Bristol, UK, 2018
In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed sociologist Ann Oakley undertook one of the first serious sociological studies to examine women’s work in the home. She interviewed 40 urban housewives and analysed their perceptions of housework, their feelings of monotony and fragmentation, the length of their working week, the importance of standards and routines, and their attitudes to different household tasks. Most women, irrespective of social class, were dissatisfied with housework – an important finding which contrasted with prevailing views. Importantly, too, she showed how the neglect of research on domestic work was linked to the inbuilt sexism of sociology. This classic book challenged the hitherto neglect of housework as a topic worthy of study and paved the way for the sociological study of many more aspects of women’s lives.

Welfare and Wellbeing : Richard Titmuss's Contribution to Social Policy Pete Alcock (editor); Howard Glennerster (editor); Ann Oakley (editor); Adrian Sinfield (editor) Bristol University Press, 1, 2001-10-10
Richard Titmuss was Professor of Social Administration at the London School of Economics from 1950 until his death in 1973. His publications on welfare and social policy were radical and wide-ranging, spanning fields such as demography, class inequalities in health, social work, and altruism. Titmuss's work played a critical role in establishing the study of social policy as a scientific discipline; it helped to shape the development of the British Welfare State and influenced thinking about social policy worldwide. Despite its continuing relevance to current social policy issues both in the UK and internationally, much of Titmuss's work is now out of print. This book brings together a selection of his most important writings on a range of key social policy issues, together with commentary on these from contemporary experts in the field. The book should be read by undergraduate and postgraduate students in social policy and sociology, for many of whom Titmuss remains compulsory reading. It will be of interest to academics and other policy analysts as well as students and academics in political science and social work.|Richard Titmuss was Professor of Social Administration at the London School of Economics from 1950 until his death in 1973. His publications on welfare and social policy were radical and wide-ranging, spanning fields such as demography, class inequalities in health, social work, and altruism. Titmuss's work played a critical role in establishing the study of social policy as a scientific discipline; it helped to shape the development of the British Welfare State and influenced thinking about social policy worldwide.

Forgotten Wives : How Women Get Written Out of History Ann Oakley Policy Press | Bristol University Press, 1st, Bristol, 2021
Forgotten Wives examines the ways in which the institution and status of marriage has contributed to the active ‘disremembering’ of women’s achievements. Drawing on archives, biographies, autobiographies and historical accounts, the book interrogates conventions of history and biography writing to show how assumptions about marriage and women help to write women out of history. The book uses the case-studies of four women who were active in social and educational reform in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and were married to well-known men: Charlotte Shaw (née Payne-Townshend), Mary Booth (née Macaulay), Jeannette Tawney (née Beveridge) and Janet Beveridge (known previously as Jessy Mair). The case-studies demonstrate how independently-performing women disappear as supporters of their husbands’ work, as secretaries and research assistants, and as managers of men’s domestic lives. Even intellectual collaboration tends to be portrayed as normative wifely behaviour rather than as joint work. Forgotten Wives asks critical questions about the mechanisms that maintain gender inequality, and it contributes a fresh vision of how the welfare state developed in the early twentieth century.

Fantasy has come to mean different things to different people - for some it is a descent into the unconscious, an expression of repressed fears or desires; for others it is an exploration of new territories, frightening and fertile landscapes inhabited by playful and provocative beings who draw the reader into a fascinating web of morality and myth. In her challenging Introduction, Joanna Russ describes Fantasy as 'the most realistic of all the arts, expressing as it does the contents of human souls directly'. This anthology aims to show that Fantasy has also been an important vehicle for women, who have used it to express their creative diversity, without having to be boxed in and categorized by a male-dominated literary establishment.

From Here to Maternity : Becoming a Mother Ann Oakley UK ; IL, USA : Policy Press, 1, 2018-10-31
The author of this book is a pioneer in the field of sociological research. In this classic re-issue, the author interviewed 60 women to find out what it is really like to have a baby. Covering pregnancy, birth and child care, the book relies on the stories mothers tell to discuss whether and why women want to become pregnant, how they imagine motherhood to be, the experience of birth, post-natal depression, feeding and caring routines, and the challenges for the domestic division of labour and to fathers. It shows that most women are unprepared for the birth or the work of caring for a baby, but also for the joys that a baby can bring. As topical today as the day it was written, this important book was the first to examine first-time motherhood in the words of those experiencing it, and it continues to influence generations of researchers today.

nexusstc/A Critical Woman: Barbara Wootton, Social Science and Public Policy in the Twentieth Century/fb3d207d40855d705f1bcd56b0140aaa.pdf
A critical woman : Barbara Wootton, social science and public policy in the twentieth century Oakley, Ann Bloomsbury Publishing (UK), 2011 jun 08
"Barbara Wootton was one of the extraordinary public figures of the twentieth century. She was an outstanding social scientist, an architect of the welfare state, an iconoclast who challenged conventional wisdoms and the first woman to sit on the Woolsack in the House of Lords. Ann Oakley has written a fascinating and highly readable account of the life and work of this singular woman, but the book goes much further. It is an engaged account of the making of British social policy at a critical period seen through the lens of the life and work of a pivotal figure. Oakley tells a story about the intersections of the public and the private and about the way her subject's life unfolded within, was shaped by, and helped to shape a particular social and intellectual context."--Publisher's description.

Sex, gender and society (Towards a new society) Ann Oakley Gower Publishing Company Limited, Towards a new society, Rev. ed, Aldershot, Hants., England, 1985
What are the differences between the sexes? That is the question that Ann Oakley set out to answer in this pioneering study, now established as a classic in the field. To answer it she draws on the evidence of biology, anthropology, sociology and the study of animal behaviour to cut through popular myths and reach the underlying truth. She demonstrates conclusively that men and women are not two separate groups: rather each individual takes his or her place on a continuous scale. She shows how different societies define masculinity and femininity in different and even opposite ways, and discusses how far observable differences are based on biology and psychology and how far on cultural conditioning. Many books have discussed these vital issues. None, however, have drawn on such an impressively wide range of evidence or discussed it with such clarity and authority. Now newly reissued with a substantial introduction which highlights its continuing relevance, this work will continue to inform and shape dialogues around sex and gender for a new generation of scholars and students.
