Who's running this course?

The way a lot of it is worded is a load of old codswallop.

The part I quoted could be construed as prejudiced, for it makes no mention of class, and only relates to women of the lower middle classes and above.

For at least two hundred years, since the start of industrialisation, poorer women have worked for a living, and married.

It sounds like a BBC public information broadcast from the 1950's.
