About this objectPaperback booklet of poetry titled 'On The Wild Side: Poems by Joan M. Batchelor'. Ex-library issue, stamped Equal Opportunities Commission Information Centre. The blurb on the back includes a statement by Joan: "I now write seriously because I feel a woman does not own a voice just to sing lullabies or to scold her husband. Women have something to say. I have something to say, and stories to tell. I do hope you enjoy this book, I enjoyed writing it. Much in here is written for people who think they dislike poetry, who feel it may be too 'high brow' for the working class.... it's not you know.... it is the working class..."
