By the Sweat of Their Brow: Women workers at Victorian Coal Mines - Economic History
Angela V. John
The pit brow lasses who sorted coal and performed a variety of jobs above ground at British coal mines prompted a violent debate about women's work in the nineteenth century. This book discusses the implications of this debate, showing how it encapsulates many of the ambivalences of late Victorian attitudes towards working-class female employment.
