STRENGTH OF SPIRIT: The lives and experiences of Bangladeshi Women from Manchester
Strength of spirit is a book documenting the hidden 'herstory' of Bangladeshi women in Manchester.
They speak about coming and settling in England education, family, culture and community. The book was compiled by young Bangladeshi women from Levenshulme High School for Girls and The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust, Manchester.
The personal stories in this book reveal much diversity of experience, ideas and opinion, contradicting stereotyped views of 'the Asian woman'. If the local histories of minority communities in Britain are infrequently told, those of minority women are further marginalised. Strength of Spirit is an important contribution to the study of Manchester's local history
