内容説明

This is a sociological study of the way in which women and their "gossip" was viewed in the period 1880 to 1960. It asks why specifically working class women are seen as gossips, tracing the stereotyped meanings and prejudices attached to the word. Other, communication aspects are also examined.

目次

Part One: the whisper of devilish tongues - women's words corrupted. Part two: talk at the street door - the gossip exchange in working class neighbourhoods. Part three: the knowable community - the limits of mental and social space. Part four: blood thicker than water? Family and street tensions. Part five: no coats hanging on the door - neighbourhood networks in decline. Conclusion: women on the washtub.
