“Mrs. Swanwick’s exposition of the claims of women is clear, bright, forcible, well-informed and fairly reasoned. It is more likely to persuade doubters than any other statement that has yet appeared.”—Mr. J. A. Hobson in the Manchester Guardian.
MARRIED WOMEN’S WORK
Being the Report of an Enquiry undertaken by
the Women’s Industrial Council
Edited by CLEMENTINA BLACK
This volume contains the report of an investigation organized by the Women’s Industrial Council, into the work for money of wives and widows. The facts have been collected mainly by means of personal visits, and the various sections have been written by different persons, quite independently. The aggregate result is a picture, unquestionably faithful, of life as led in thousands of working-class homes in this country.

“If any one wants to know how the poor live to-day, he will find it in Mrs. Pember Reeves’ little book. Here there is no sensation, no melodrama, no bitter cry. It is not outcast London that we are shown, but ordinary London, resolutely respectable; not ‘the Submerged Tenth,’ but somewhere about the half.”—Nation.
