| 520 | 3 | |a This article examines conflicts of gender relations during the interwar period in Britain. It centres on a discussion of Walter Greenwood's successful novel Love on the Dole (1933) as a representative case study of working-class coping strategies in the face of unemployment and dearth. While the interwar period has sometimes ambiguously been named The Age of Illusion, even The Long Week-end, the 1930s with their consistently high unemployment rates in the industrial north have been termed Devil's Decade, Pink Thirties, or, quite plainly, The Hungry Thirties. Gender relations could not remain unaffected by these constraints on everyday life: Whereas it had been a commonly shared view in the working classes that the husband had to be the bread-winner and the wife's place was at home, these established gender roles could no longer be taken for granted. Increasingly, they were reversed: Men who lost their jobs stayed at home, while their wives went out to work to support the family. As a result, notions of gender identity, self-respect, and morality had to be redefined. British re-armament and the outbreak of the Second World War created a fundamentally different prospect by mobilizing the entire workforce of men and women alike. The resulting full employment provided a precondition for Labour's postwar welfare state, which brought with it a return to traditional gender roles by the 1950s | |
