[1] When the School Boards were abolished, Mrs. Pankhurst became the Trades Council Representative on the Education Committee.
[2] In Booth's classic book, Life and Labour in London, the result of a canvass of the then 186,982 women occupiers, shows that of that number 94,940 were wage earners who were divided into the following categories:—
| Charwomen, office-keepers, laundresses | 30,334 |
| Dressmakers and milliners | 14,361 |
| Shirt and blouse-makers, seamstresses | 6,525 |
| Waitresses, matrons, etc | 5,595 |
| Tailoresses | 4,443 |
| Lodging and coffee-house keepers | 4,226 |
| Medical women, nurses, midwives | 3,971 |
| Teachers | 2,198 |
On the basis of Booth's figures, Miss Clara Collett, the Government's Senior Inspector for Women's Industries, writing in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society for September, 1908, estimated that the women occupiers of London might be divided as follows:—
| Occupied women (who work out) | 51 | per cent. |
| Housewives (without servants) | 38 | " |
| Housewives (with one servant) | 5 | " |
| Housewives (with two or more servants) | 6 | " |
