Book Synopsis Women, Work, and Representation by : Lynn Mae Alexander
Book excerpt: In Victorian England, virtually all women were taught to sew, but this essentially domestic virtue took on a different aspect for the professional seamstress of the day. This study considers the way this powerful image of working-class suffering was used by social reformers in art and literature.
