About this book

The seamstress held a distinctive place in nineteenth-century history. She appears often in debates about women's work and education, and about the condition of the working classes in a fast-changing capitalist market.

The needlewoman, like the governess, shows up constantly in the art, fiction and journalism of the period. The book's fifteen articles examine that figure in several settings.
