Beskrivning
A Woman's Work is Never Done: History of Housework in the British Isles, 1650-1950. Hardcover.
Caroline Davidson’s A Woman’s Work is Never Done: a history of housework in the British Isles 1650-1950, takes the reader through three centuries of women’s unpaid labour. There are interesting chapters on ‘utilities’ - water, heating and lighting and the impact that the provision of these had on women’s lives. She considers the specifics of cooking, of cleaning and of laundry. There is also a section on servants. Her final chapters, which look at the time spent on housework and women’s attitudes to housework are particularly thought provoking. This book, with over 100 black and white illustrations, is a fascinating read for both men and women. It is a volume that will provide family historians with crucial context for those often overlooked female ancestors.
