The aim of this study is to explain why some middle-class Victorian
women took up various kinds of public social service, as social
workers, researchers or reformers. The conventions of the time made
it difficult for women to move out of family into public life and
the nature of the work they chose demanded great physical and
mental courage and endurance. The author examines the family and
social background and the individual character of ten famous
nineteenth-century women to try to identify the social
circumstances and personal qualities that encouraged their social
service activities and relates her findings to the problems faced
by women of the present who endeavour to combine family
responsibilities and outside employment.
