This book explores the experiences of working-class women undergraduates at three universities in the North of England. The author examines the women''s 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 women''s 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.
