In the early twentieth century, women fought for the right to
professional employment and political influence outside the home.
Yet if liberation from household 'drudgery' meant employing another
woman to do it, where did this leave domestic servants? Both
inspired and frustrated by the growing feminist movement, servants
began forming their own trade unions, demanding better conditions
and rights at work. Feminism and the Servant Problem is the first
ever history of how these militant maids and their mistresses
joined forces in the struggle for the vote but also clashed over
competing class interests. Laura Schwartz uncovers a forgotten
history of domestic worker organising and early feminist thinking
on reproductive labour, and offers a new perspective on the class
politics of the suffrage movement, challenging traditional notions
of who made up the British working-class.
