Crowfoot was not promoted to Reader until 1957, and, even then she was not provided with modern lab facilities until the following year. The academic pinnacle of success, an endowed chair, was offered to her in 1960, but it was provided by the Royal Society, not the University of Oxford. Worldwide recognition of her work on the determination of the structures of biochemically important molecules came in 1964 with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Instead, they transformed other material into news -editing stringers reports or sifting through page proofs for journals...

In Britain, crucial historical factors include the spread of literacy following the educational reforms of the 1870s the advent of mass-market newspapers such as the Daily Mail (launched in 185(6), and other mass-market literary products the extension of the electoral franchise in the Reform Act of 1867, and the rapid growth of socialist politics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Cleveland child sexual abuse scandal of 1987 marked the peak of this period and condensed its themes the tensions between social work, medicine and the law social workers as anxious, demoralized and particularly vulnerable as a predominantly female profession. For three months from April that year, a cluster of some 120 children (average age between 6 and 9) had been diagnosed as having been sexually abused in their families.

The Daily Mail ran the story on 23 June ( Hand Over Your Children, Council Orders Parents of 200 Youngsters ).
