Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. "'I don't think I am cared for here they often tell me that I am a low girl and was picked up from the gutter which hurts my feelings very much. I don't think I deserve such a name as that as I consider myself far from a low gutter girl.' - Mary Smith, 1902. Throughout Australia's history the lives of those thousands of women who have been domestic servants has always been described by someone outside or above this station. We know much about what 'upstairs' thought about 'downstairs', but not what 'downstairs' though." This "to some extent corrects this imbalance. The voice of the domestic servant is heard through the hundreds of letters written by the girls who were made state wards in South Australia from 1887-1940. .These records vividly illuminate a fascinating aspect of nineteenth-century life as well as changes which took place in the social structure between the two world wars. Barbalet has allowed the letters from the girls to, and replies from, the Department to speak for themselves." --- Original black card illustrated covers, lettered black on white & blue spine and top cover (21.5 cm height).
