Description

Explore the complex history of the pit brow lasses in this Routledge publication. This book examines the women who sorted coal and performed various jobs above ground at British coal mines during the nineteenth century. It investigates the violent debates surrounding female manual labor and the perceived conflict between the fashionable ideals of womanhood and the reality of working in a masculine domain. Through an economic history lens, the text analyzes the attempts to restrict women's work in the 1880s and how these women were viewed as an aberration to the traditional home sphere. Even though they represented a small percentage of the colliery labor force, their presence challenged social norms and sparked significant historical discussion regarding gender and industry.
