Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Based on the BBC television series, Shopgirls is the true story of the incredible women behind the counters of Britains most famous and not so famous stores.From the Victorian age through to the present day, an unsung army of shopgirls have been at the heart of Britains retail revolution. Shopgirls reveals their enterprising and courageous stories as never before. We meet Selfridges' businesswomen, fighting for their good name, and arsonist suffragette Gladys Evans, jailed for standing up for her beliefs; join Margaret Bondfield as she goes undercover, fiercely championing the rights of early shopgirls; and stand alongside the impoverished interwar chain store assistants who stole stockings to supplement their meagre wages. We encounter young apprentices, the first generation of female graduate trainees and 1940s working mums. We follow Chili Bouchier's journey from the small ladies department at Harrods to star of the silver screen; uncover the raw courage of John Lewiss Miss Austin during the Blitz in the West End; and celebrate the art school entrepreneurs who kick-started the boutique movement of the swinging 60s.As this lively book reveals, the story of British shopgirls - and their spirited camaraderie - is one woven deep into the fabric of our history and changes the way we understand our society. You will never shop in the same way again.For fans of social history and nostalgia, including readers of Lucy Lethbridge's Servants: A Downstairs View of Twentieth-Century Britain; Lindy Woodhead's Shopping, Seduction and Mr Selfridge and Mollie Moran's Aprons and Silver Spoons. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Descrizione dello Store

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
