Landscape for a Good Woman
Carolyn Steedman
 Landscape for a Good Woman is an autobiographical class analysis which looks at the working class upbringing of famed sociologist Carolyn Steedman in 1950s London. “It is about the centrality of some narratives and the essential marginality of others, and about the stories we tell ourselves to explain our lives. Her writings emphasize and analyze the differences between her and her mother, who didn’t represent the traditional model of mother-child relationship.
