In the second half of the twentieth century, public expenditure on early year’s provisions focused on families who presented social need and difficulties. Local authority day nurseries and nursery schools catered primarily for children at risk of harm or deprivation, mostly in urban and deprived areas. Otherwise, early years provision was provided by the private sector; childminders, nannies and a few private nurseries. They were regulated by the 1948 Nurseries and Childminders Act, which was followed by the stronger Childcare Act 1989 and the Care Standards Act 2000.

This story was written in the 1970s in the midst of what is known as the second wave feminist movement.

Daughters back then had to practically run the house from the inside-out, and complaining was never an option; nor did they know another way to go along with these daily duties besides being hard working and determined. Social norm has changed more than a tad, but whether it’s changed for the better is the bigger question. Do girls have as good of work ethic now as they did when a woman’s role was to stay in and run the house?

The Price for Beauty Woman throughout history have set standards on how beauty is a large significance in their daily lives. From reading the article by Robin Marantz Henig, “The Price of Perfection”, I’ve learned a lot about the choices and risks woman have taken throughout history to measure up to the idea of perfection.
