By Marianne Gullestad
Through two years of anthropological fieldwork in the suburbs of Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city, the author has listened carefully to the conversations of young working-class women. In this intimate study, she examines how the lives of these women are shaped, what dignity and self-respect mean to them, and how they define their identities as women. This book discusses topics such as the rising rate of divorce, women’s culture, and how these women play a crucial role in creating and maintaining a cultural lifestyle for their families.
