In the 1950s heated views were sometimes expressed about the
alleged social results of married women going out to work.
Originally published in 1962 Married Women Working attempts to
examine the question objectively. It is based on two studies
undertaken over a period of nearly five years in a solidly
working-class London district – one, a detailed study in the
factory of a well-known firm of biscuit makers (Peek Freans)
relying mainly on married women workers; the other, a more general
one, in the surrounding borough as a whole. How effective was the
married woman as an employee? How did the firm cope with their new
type of labour and with what results? What was the effect on the
woman herself, and on her family, of her attempt to fill the dual
role of home-maker and paid worker? These are some of the questions
examined in this book, which also gives a very fascinating picture
of how people lived at the time, against the background of earlier
generations.
