Ruth is literally the coolest historian ever.

I am always looking for new Ruth Goodman content. She ties so many threads together to make the past come alive.

Thanks so much for this exciting interview. Very refreshing to have such an enthusiastic description of working class women in the not so distant past. Goodman is gold!

[sarahwatts]

I think these women would be tickled to be remembered by name after all this time

Ruth Goodman really is one of those personalities I would greatly enjoy sitting down with for a pot of tea and just listening to her converse about her current interests and subject of study. She is so engaging and well-spoken, with a wicked sense of humour.
Ruth "and the boys" almost singlehandedly set me on a path of pursuing smallholding life (homesteading for Americans). Who would have thought a girl who grew up in a European capital city would watch "Tales from the Green Valley" when it aired sometime in 2005 and end up living in a remote mountain community, in Idaho of all places, and know how to make clothes, whisper to horses, milk goats, make butter and cheese, or butcher her own meat, and keep a kitchen garden almost as large as some of the Victorian walled estate gardens.

I really enjoyed this interview. Ruth is not only a historian, but an anthropologist superb at looking at human behavior and adaptation in response to environmental and cultural changes. Her insights into women every day living throughout history is invaluable. Again thank you.

Ruth is a joy to watch & listen to!! Her knowledge bank must be beyond incredible!! I will now look forward to reading her books!!
How lucky to have a job as a historian - because you can never stop learning !!!

My great-grandad was blessed with 6 daughters and no sons (late 1800s) -- 5 of them were either nurses, or (pupil -- initially) teachers -- my grandmother was the 'dunce' of the family; though I later realised that she was in fact severely dyslexic/dyscalculaic.

Ruth Goodman is amazing, I love watching any historical show she's been in, I found the how to build a castle one very fascinating ❤️

Perhaps employers eventually realised that married women were likely to stay longer than the young unmarried ones...

[K.L.M.Online]

I truly enjoyed learning about women’s lives.

[christinecarter]

Greatly enjoyed these two interviews which really bring history alive. It would be interesting to learn if the increased school attendance in the area meant better paid positions for the children as they grew up or whether they stayed in the area and repeated the lives of their parents. Well done, would love to visit the museum one day (I'm in New Zealand). ⭐⭐⭐

Women were at uni in Australia since the 1880s Also, i thought women and girls were employed in jobs even those where only men previously worked because they were paid less for the same job. I think many women especially those of the middle class left paid employment on marriage because it was seen that the male was the breadwinner and the woman’s role was that of homemaker.
