Find out what shocked an Edwardian lady when she lived with a working class family in London. Life and work for most people in the Edwardian era was hard, physical and repetitive. Conditions had begun to improve on the Dickensian suffering the Victorians endured in sweatshops, but concern for staff welfare had a long way to go. This was still an age when sickness and inability to work could mean starvation. Women were working more and more to contribute to the family budget – and not only as maids or nannies, but in industry too. Society still frowned upon women working in factories and considered husbands who allowed their wives in them to be of low character. Working class employees were poorly paid, worked long hours and endured unhealthy conditions that were, often times, dangerous. In the early 1900s there were few people in public life speaking up for the plight of the factory worker. There was a woman, however, who was prepared to expose these conditions to the middle and upper classes, from which she belonged. This is the true story of a woman who disguised herself to live and find a job as a factory worker with a working class family. Find out what surprised and shocked her as she discovers Edwardian life for everyday people.
