Jenna Bailey is from Sturgeon County in Alberta, Canada.
She studied History at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada
where she developed her love of reading letters from the
past. This led her to the University of Sussex where she
did her Master's Degree in Life History Research.
It was in the Mass Observation Archive at the University
of Sussex that Jenna found the papers of the Cooperative
Correspondence Club (CCC). She set about finding the members
of the CCC, and their families, to piece together the story
of this remarkable group of women. Three years later, the
final result can be found in her book, "Can Any Mother
Help Me?" released by Faber and Faber in March 2007.
Special Notice: On May 21, 2007 Jenna's younger sister Emma was killed in a car accident. Emma was an actress in London and she was Jenna's biggest fan and best friend. This site and Can Any Mother Help Me? are dedicated to Emma Leigh Bailey (May 30, 1983-May 21, 2007).
