- Description
- Using individual accounts, this study examines the migrants' lives by addressing their reasons for migration, their relationship to their families, the roles they played in the cities to which thy moved, and the dangers they met as a result of their youth, gender and separation from family. Gordon details both the similarities and differences in the women's migration experiences, and somewhat surprisingly concludes that they became financially independent, rather than primarily contributors to a family economy. Specifically she explored the mill towns of Preston, England, Lowell, Massachusetts, and Paisley, Scotland.

- Description
- Tracing the Victorian crisis over the representation of working-class women to the 1842 Parliamentary bluebook on mines, with its controversial images of women at work, 'Hidden Hands' argues that the female industrial worker became even more dangerous to represent than the prostitute or the male radical, because she exposed crucial contradictions between the class and gender ideologies of the period and its economic realities. The author lays the groundwork for a reinterpretation of Victorian social-problem fiction that highlights its treatment of issues that particularly affected working-class women: sexual harassment: the interconnections between domestic ideology and domestic violence, their relationships to male-dominated working-class movements such as Luddism, Chartism, and unionism, and their troubled connection to middle-class feminism. Uncovering a series of images in Victorian fiction ranging from hot-tempered servants and sexually harassed factory girls to working-class homemakers pictured as beaten dogs, 'Hidden Hands' demonstrates that representations of working-class women reveal the very contradictions they are constructed to hide.
