In 1935, a young woman wrote a letter to the women’s magazine Nursery World:
‘Can any mother help me? I live a very lonely life as I have no near neighbours. I cannot afford to buy a wireless. I adore reading, but with no library am very limited with books…I know it is bad to brood and breed hard thoughts and resentment. Can any reader suggest an occupation that will intrigue me and exclude ‘thinking’ and cost nothing!’
Women from all over the country and from all walks of life and all socio-economic backgrounds wrote back expressing similar frustrations. They were full of ideas and opinions but, since they belonged to a generation of women whose choices were limited by the expectation of becoming housewives and mothers, had nowhere to express them. So they decided to start a private magazine.
The Cooperative Correspondence Club – or CCC as it quickly became known – was a place for these women to describe the subjects close to their hearts: the pain and elation of childbirth, the difficulties during wartime, or the struggles and comedies of daily routine. It also became a clandestine platform for the women to voice their personal theories on subjects as provocative as the female orgasm, racism, and wartime politics.
None of the women anticipated the way that the magazine would come to play such an important part in their lives. The letters contributed over five decades by the extraordinary group of wives and mothers who made up the CCC provided an intimate and moving collection of personal stories, and, above all, a portrait of inseparable friendships.
Drawing on the newly published book Can Any Mother Help Me? (Faber 2007), and working closely with its author, Canadian Jenna Bailey, Foursight Theatre created an evocative, dynamic and touching piece of physical theatre, bringing to life the funny and often moving stories of over twenty women. Women whose lives became intimately connected through the simple act of writing letters.
