"I don’t really like tedious, monotonous work": working-class young women, service sector employment and social mobility in contemporary Russia
No full textThis article contributes a global perspective to the emerging literature on girlhood in western contexts by examining the changing shape of transitions to adulthood amongst working-class young women in St. Petersburg, Russia. As in many western countries, new forms of service sector employment and an increasingly accessible higher education system appear to offer young women new prospects for social mobility. In contrast to the increasingly impoverished and denigrated traditional pathways into work, the young women in the study derive significant value from these new opportunities, constructing narratives of self-actualisation and approximating notions of respectable femininity. Nevertheless, actual social mobility is elusive, as familiar patterns of classed and gendered stratification limit their prospects. Despite its specificity, the case thus further illustrates the limited nature of the transformations available to young women through the new forms of education and work characteristic of global neoliberal contexts

Rich Nelson Interview, November 9, 2001
No full textRich Nelson describes the summers he spent in Swan Valley, Montana, throughout his childhood in the 1930s. He details how his parents, Carl and Min Nelson, acquired land and built a cabin in the area. Nelson recalls the stories and lives of several other Swan Valley residents, such as Tom Haggerty, Charlie Lundberg, and Charlie Roll, which offer context on Nelson’s own memories about the hardships and rewards of the homesteading experience in general. He cites some of the difficulties that homesteaders faced, such as finding clean water and maintaining their homes, but he also emphasizes the friendships and community that form through homesteading.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/upperswanvalley_oralhistory/1030/thumbnail.jp
