Alan Sillitoe's Men, Women, and Children is an exploration of the way that class, gender, and power shape relationships between people. The novel follows the intersecting lives of three families in Sheffield, England in the late 1950s. The characters are largely defined by their class and gender, with the men dominating the world outside and the women taking care of the home and children. However, the novel also focuses on the ways that these boundaries are constantly shifting, and the ways that the characters' relationships with one another are constantly being renegotiated.; 8vo; 189 pages.
