Description

This seminal historical and literary study examines the lives and experiences of women workers in British industries and professions during the Victorian era, specifically from 1832 to 1850. Originally published in 1929, the work traces the often-overlooked presence of working women throughout history, demonstrating that female labour predates the Victorian period itself. The book explores how Victorian society and literature portrayed working women, frequently depicting them as objects of pity-victims of gruelling hours, systemic injustice, and harsh working conditions. Through detailed analysis of both historical records and literary representations, the author reveals how Victorian writers, from Chaucer to Charlotte Bronte, engaged with the figure of the working woman. This Routledge Economic History volume provides essential context for understanding gender, labour, and social attitudes during a transformative period in British industrial and economic development.
