Prof Helen McCarthy | Faculty of History University of Cambridge (original) (raw)

I am a historian of modern Britain and an author of three books, including Double Lives: A History of Working Motherhood (Bloomsbury, 2020), which was shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize. Before joining the Faculty in September 2018, I taught at Queen Mary University of London for nine years. Recent and forthcoming publications include essays on the life-writing of Fabian socialist Beatrice Webb, everyday life in Britain during Covid 19 and a Special Issue of Contemporary British History on British society, politics and culture in the 1990s (co-edited with David Geiringer). My current book project is a social and cultural history of retirement since 1945, to be published by Penguin (Allen Lane).
