The Fellowship of Women recounts the struggle of women to be accepted as surgical Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In describing the professional careers and private lives of the first two hundred women to become Fellows from 1911 to 1970 - their practice continuing into that of their successors on into the present - Margaret Ghilchik, herself one of the number, adds a dimension to the social and medical history of the period and to the inspiring story of women's emancipation in the face of male surgeon's obstinacy. The author emphasizes the effect of the World Wars, when the role of women as surgeons could not be checked, but suggests that in modern times the numbers of women Fellows may have been less than expected.

With the family's livelihood gone, Will must step into the adult world far too soon, working in a local brickworks to keep his mother and younger siblings from destitution.Set against the smoke filled yards, blistering kilns, and harsh rhythms of Victorian industry, The Brickyard Boy follows Will as he learns to navigate grief, responsibility, and moral awakening. As he becomes part of the brickworks, he witnesses the brutal realities faced by women and children whose labour keeps the industry alive, and begins to question whether survival must come at such a cost.At home, his widowed mother struggles to hold the family together, while absent siblings, shifting loyalties, and quiet acts of kindness shape their uncertain future. Through endurance, compassion, and a growing sense of justice, Will begins a journey that will define the rest of his life.Richly detailed and deeply human, The Brickyard Boy is a powerful village saga of resilience, loss, and the forging of character in the face of hardship, opening a compelling trilogy inspired by lives lived in the shadows of Britain's Industrial Age.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Set in the industrial heart of England in the closing years of the nineteenth century, The Brickyard Boy and His Sister by Margaret Ghilchik is a richly detailed village saga of resilience, responsibility, and quiet ambition.When their father dies suddenly, eleven year old Will Hadley is pulled from school and thrust into the adult world of hard labour at a Black Country brickworks. With a widowed mother and younger siblings depending on him, Will learns every inch Of the trade and shoulders responsibilities far beyond his years. Through discipline, fairness, and determination, he rises from errand boy to partner, shaping not only the future of the brickworks but the lives of those who depend upon it.Alongside Will's journey runs the story of his sister Rosie, whose fierce intelligence and hunger for learning set her on a very different path. Against social expectations and family hesitation, Rosie wins a scholarship to grammar school and dares to imagine a future in medicine at a time when such ambitions for a working class girl are almost unheard of. Encouraged by unexpected allies, she pushes steadily forward, determined to claim an education that will change her life.Around them unfolds the life of a close knit village. Brothers and sisters take divergent paths, from industrial labour to boarding school, from petty crime to naval discipline. Mothers, teachers, benefactors, and friends all play their part in shaping the children they guide, fail, or quietly save.Grounded in historical authenticity and emotional truth, The Brickyard Boy and His Sister is a powerful story of family duty, social change, and the courage it takes to imagine a different future. It is a tribute to the ordinary people whose perseverance built both industries and lives, brick by brick. …
