• "Every street had its lady": Working-class health culture before World War II -- "We know what's good for you": Formal health care provision in Barrow, Lancaster, and Preston -- "No fever in our house": Contagion, prevention, and the working class -- "They never told us anything": Sex and family limitation -- "With having my mother, I didn't need any advice off anybody else": Bearing and caring for children -- "By gum, we did enjoy it": Popular media and the construction of modern health culture -- "The best thing since wearing boots": Working-class health culture after 1948.

• In For Their Own Good Lucinda McCray Beier examines the interactions between working-class health culture and official provision of health services and medical care in three English communities between 1880 and 1970. Based on 239 oral history interviews of laypeople and annual public health reports, this book considers gender, class, political, economic, and cultural aspects of the mid-twentieth-century shift in responsibility for illness, birth, and death from the informal domestic and neighborhood sphere to the purview of professional, institutionally based authorities.
