  How have women survived the eighties? What has it been like to spend most of your adult life under Thatcher? In this book, 18 young women look back on a decade which marked the arrival of a new Conservatism. They all bear witness to a coming of age in an era of stark individualism, confrontation, unemployment and the resurrection of unthinkable prejudice. Coming to feminism, they encountered nostalgia for the early days of the Women's Liberation Movement just as the media was announcing a post-feminist era .
