In this book, Elizabeth Roberts outlines some of the questions and problems relating to working class women's work, 1840-1940. The contentious issues of a "family wage", unequal pay and status, the effects of industrialisation on many aspects of women's work, men's attitudes to women's work outside the home, women's connection with Trade Unions and the effect of legislation on women's work are all discussed in depth.
