CONTENTS

PREFACE

What women take for granted today; access to the professions, equal pay (still under discussion), equal opportunities (ditto), universal healthcare, safe childbirth and ownership of property was, for our grandmothers and great grandmothers, wishful thinking. In many northern cities more women had jobs, albeit unskilled, than their husbands but still juggled responsibility for a large family, cooking, household cleaning and laundry.

A woman took her fathers surname at birth, her husbands on marriage and was formally identified by his initials. Should a spouse die, widows and widowers often remarried through necessity of child care and financial support. Each successive marriage produced more children, making it difficult to unravel the female side of our family tree.

Society has come a long way, and this book follows the path travelled by our female ancestors, both the privileged minority and their working-class sisters. It covers the period from 1815, when Britain was plunged into economic crisis following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, to 1914, the start of the First World War, an event which irrevocably changed everyones lives, especially womens.
