Reviews

'Dr John's sympathetic yet critical writing is well set into the broader context of the late nineteenth century women's campaign and succeeds in bringing a little-known topic to the attention of historians in a lively and informative way.' - Kenneth D Brown, The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Angela John, in her exciting and wide-ranging study, has restored the centrality of what was always a small percentage of the total mining force to our understanding of Victorian society.' David Smith, Welsh History Review 'Angela John's book fills one of the many important gaps in our knowledge women workers in the Victorian period.' - Frances Widdowson, Women's Research and Resources Centre, London
