An interesting journey through the fashions of the Victorian era. Fun to read if you have an interest in fashion history. The illustrations are helpful in giving a visual of how women dressed during those times. Thank goodness times have changed...I don't think I could wear soooo many layers.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Jenny Main has written a book that perfectly combines the career of an intrepid worker on behalf of nurses, and in many ways the medical profession, and an impressive social history of the period. I enjoyed the combination, making this a book that I shall enthusiastically read again.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars After reading what must be dozens of fictional books on this subject I had to give this non fiction historical book a try. And wow! well worth it! This book is a really detailed and informative read about the significant part women and minors of both sexes played in the Industrial Revolution. How, indeed the so called revolution would not have come to be without both women and children playing a part. Book outlines how both groups were usually on the bottom of the ladder in regard to work, pay, safety etc and how a ‘woman’s work was never done’ with them then having no to go home to look after there families. This is not a happy tale but a necessary one to tell of the lives and fates of the factory girls who helped shape the future of many industries. Well researched and well written.
