Excerpt from The History of Chippenham I foresaw the probability that, as the Jackson Papers had left the County, their very existence would soon be forgotten; I therefore proposed to myself to cull out of the Canon's Memorabilia, manu script and printed, those facts which had reference of immediate interest to Chippenham, and to frame a narrative which I might supplement by my own reading and observation.

In November 1915 the Chippenham Red Cross Convalescent Hospital opened in response to rapidly increasing numbers of wounded men returning from the battlefields of the Great War. This book follows events in Chippenham, a relatively small north Wiltshire town, that led to the opening of the Hospital. It describes in detail the people of the district who gave so many hours to care for the patients and make them feel welcome in the town. Inevitably there is sadness but also joy, the recurring theme is of a 'Happy Home Hospital'. The Hospital changed the lives of both staff and patients and this book follows some of those changes after the Armistice. Profusely illustrated in colour, the book derives from a highly successful exhibition mounted by staff and volunteers of Chippenham Museum and, although concerned principally with the hospital, it chronicles many other apects of the town and its people through a devastating war.

Much has changed in the women's movement since the early 1970s. Since that time, Sheila Rowbotham has observed and commented on women's changing roles from both a personal and a historical perspective. Here she gathers nearly a quarter of a century of these writings. Among them are a reflection on writing history with a subjective awareness of class, gender, and race; a personal essay on growing up as a subversive in the conformist 1950s; and a look at how self-image was addressed in the early years of women's liberation. Interwoven throughout these essays are the threads of Rowbotham's compassionate wisdom as she encourages us to remember the past, care about each other, and pay attention to our own lives.
