On Emily Robinson, Camilla Schofield, Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, and Natalie Thomlinson's 'Telling Stories about Post-war Britain: Popular Individualism and the "Crisis" of the 1970s' (2017).

The article "Telling Stories about Post-war Britain: Popular Individualism and the 'Crisis' of the 1970s" by Emily Robinson, Camilla Schofield, Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, and Natalie Thomlinson explores the concept of popular individualism in post-war Britain. The authors argue that the 1970s witnessed a growing demand for personal autonomy and self-determination, which was not solely a result of Thatcherism but also a cause of it. They highlight various progressive responses to this individualism, such as the Women's Liberation Movement and the Institute for Workers Control. The article also discusses the impact of popular individualism on the Labour left, particularly in relation to campaigns for constitutional reform and mandatory reselection of MPs. Overall, the article challenges the dominant narrative of Thatcherism and emphasizes the existence of multiple political possibilities in post-war Britain. [Extracted from the article]
