First published in 1979. This book examines the distressed
gentlewoman stereotype, primarily through a study of the experience
of emigration among single middle-class women between 1830 and
1914. Based largely on a study of government and philanthropic
emigration projects, it argues that the image of the downtrodden
resident governess does inadequate justice to Victorian
middle-class women's responses to the experience of economic and
social decline and to insufficient female employment opportunities.
This title will be of interest to students of history.
