| Description | 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. This book tells the history of how these militant maids and their mistresses joined forces in the struggle for the vote but also clashed over competing class interests. |
