Compare the lives of factory workers, middle-class women, domestic servants, criminals, aristocrats and agricultural laborers. Hear the voices of obscure women alongside those of celebrities from rebellious servant Hannah Cullwick to daring aristocrat, Lady Colin Campbell, prostitute Ellen Reece, and bored middle-class daughter, Katherine Chorley.If you want to trace female ancestors or simply discover more about how women lived in the past, then this book is ideal to help you get started with your own research.
