This volume addresses some of the difficult issues surrounding
women's work during a century of social upheaval, and demonstrates
how hard it is to be precise about the nature and extent of women's
occupations. It focuses on working-class women and the many
problems relating to their work, full-time and part-time, paid and
unpaid, outside and inside the home. Elizabeth Roberts examines
men's attitudes to women's work, the difficulties of census
enumeration and women's connections with trade unions. She also
tackles in depth other areas of contention such as the effects of
legislation on women's work, a 'family wage', and unequal pay and
status. Dr Roberts' study provides a unique overview of an
expanding field of social and economic history, while her survey of
the available literature is a useful guide to further reading.
