This title shines a light on the many areas of female activity in and around Watford, both in the home and at work, in traditional rural employment or in dressmaking, textiles and the silk industry. The lives of local women are put into the context of the national movement to address inequality and injustice, highlighting the often difficult lives of those employed in domestic service, the impact of poor housing and terrible poverty on women's lives and the efforts to redress the situation and the changes in social hierarchy.
