An A-Z of Women's Occupations in Victorian Britain 
I’m most interested in your work Amanda and was coming to your seminar at IHR today. My researches involve Mechanics’ Institutes in the south east and I’m presently writing a book based on my PhD thesis. One chapter is dedicated to women at the MIs and how they managed to gain entry to these male dominated citadels. Using the census/newspapers/MI archives, I’ve uncovered surprising evidence that contradicts some of the traditional views of women’s lives and work. Please can you let me know of papers/books you’ve published so that I can read about your work.
Dear Amanda,
I am researching the artificial flower makers who lived in the John Grooms orphanage and “crippleage”; do you have any references you could suggest? Many thanks, Cynthia Pelman
I just discovered this interesting website. I’ll return for more reading. Good job! 🙂
On my great great grandmothers death certificate it said she was formerly a stewardess. This was in 1877 London. She was very poor. Can’t find info on this for this time period. What do you think?? Ship?!
