This article focuses on the book "Victorian Working Women," by Wanda Fraiken Neff. Neff has put vast industry and much skill and humor into this early Victorian study of women in British industries and professions. Though her work is especially directed to the period from 1832 to 1850, when the earliest factory legislation was in the making, she wisely takes a liberal view of her chosen period, and from many literary and historical sources traces the evolution of the economic and social status of women before and after this period.
