I really enjoyed this interview. Ruth is not only a historian, but an anthropologist superb at looking at human behavior and adaptation in response to environmental and cultural changes. Her insights into women every day living throughout history is invaluable. Again thank you.
Ruth is a joy to watch & listen to!! Her knowledge bank must be beyond incredible!! I will now look forward to reading her books!! How lucky to have a job as a historian - because you can never stop learning !!!
My great-grandad was blessed with 6 daughters and no sons (late 1800s) -- 5 of them were either nurses, or (pupil -- initially) teachers -- my grandmother was the 'dunce' of the family; though I later realised that she was in fact severely dyslexic/dyscalculaic.
Greatly enjoyed these two interviews which really bring history alive. It would be interesting to learn if the increased school attendance in the area meant better paid positions for the children as they grew up or whether they stayed in the area and repeated the lives of their parents. Well done, would love to visit the museum one day (I'm in New Zealand). ⭐⭐⭐
Women were at uni in Australia since the 1880s Also, i thought women and girls were employed in jobs even those where only men previously worked because they were paid less for the same job. I think many women especially those of the middle class left paid employment on marriage because it was seen that the male was the breadwinner and the woman’s role was that of homemaker.
There is some evidence in this talk that the presenter entertains the notion that laborer is an unskilled occupation. It is not. There are a tremendous number of things workers need to learn and get good at, or they rapidly do not continue to be laborers.
Such an engaging and knowledgeable and enthusiastic sharer. More with Ruth please!
Ruth is literally the coolest historian ever.
I am always looking for new Ruth Goodman content. She ties so many threads together to make the past come alive.
I think these women would be tickled to be remembered by name after all this time
This interview with Ruth Goodman was superb. Thank you so much.
Blimey !
This is the first time I've seen Ruth Goodman not dressed in historic attire !!!
😮❤😅❤😊

I really enjoy Ruth. Goodman. So interesting. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this! More Ruth, please!!
Perhaps employers eventually realised that married women were likely to stay longer than the young unmarried ones...
So enjoyable to watch! Thank you for posting this. 😊
I see Ruth Goodman, I click!
I truly enjoyed learning about women’s lives.
Ruth’s RP accent is delightful.

Ruth Goodman is amazing, I love watching any historical show she's been in, I found the how to build a castle one very fascinating ❤️

My other grandmother ran a hotel during the first world war.

Its a shame that back then when a single working woman got married got kicked to the curb.
Were the schools run by churches, or were they independent of religion ??
