      abstract = {This book explores the experiences of working-class women  undergraduates at three universities in the North of  England. The author examines the womens identities, choices  and emotions in relation to higher education; and how they  reframe their constrained university choices to maximise  their chances of academic success. Highlighting differences  in working-class womens learner identities, caring  commitments and quests for upwards social mobility, the  book offers an understanding of working-class female  student journeys and their mixture of compromise,  uncertainty and hope. It will be of interest and value to  scholars of working-class women students, widening  participation, and sociologists of education. Sam Shields  is Lecturer in Education at Newcastle University, UK. Her  research interests include social inequalities and higher  education, particularly focused on the intersection between  gender and social class.},
