Waking Up in the Men's Room
Poet, activist, and feminist, Catherine Macleod has produced a passionate memoir confronting the controversies that have defined her generation. Along the way, she evokes the demons and ideas that have marked her personal passage. Infusing her prose with the feminist wit that Michele Landsberg has observed in her poetry, Macleod brings her working-class perspective to bear on the politics of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and the survival tactics of self-respect, spirituality, and recovery.

A Child of Jarrow
To escape her drunken step-father, Kate Fawcett is sent away from Tyneside and finds work at Ravensworth Castle. She soon attracts the attention of charming, headstrong Alexander Pringle Davis, a distant cousin of the Earl, who risks incurring the wrath of his family by courting lowly Kate.
Return to Jarrow
Catherine (Kitty) McMullen, is seventeen, restless and rebellious. Resentful of her mother Kate's new husband, she yearns for stories of the father she never knew and when her gossipy aunt divulges that he was a wealthy gentleman, Catherine's discontent with grimy, impoverished Jarrow grows. Taking a job at the workhouse laundry, her young eyes are further confronted with the horrors and indignities of poverty, and she becomes even more determined to rise above her wretched surroundings by educating herself. Braving the ridicule of fellow staff, Catherine embarks on a quest for knowledge. Soon the ill-educated and streetwise Kitty McMullen is a ghost of the past, and the well-spoken, well-read Catherine leaves the north-east to follow her dreams. But hardship and heartbreak are not far behind, and there are battles to be fought and won for this plucky and romantic heroine. RETURN TO JARROW concludes the bestselling trilogy that began with THE JARROW LASS and continued with A CHILD OF JARROW.
