The forgotten story of how ordinary families managed financially in the Victorian eraand struggled to survive despite increasing national prosperityA powerful story of social realities, pressures, and the fracturing of traditional structures.Ruth Goodman, Wall Street JournalDeeply researched and sensitive.Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph, 'Best History Books of 2020'Nineteenth century Britain saw remarkable economic growth and a rise in real wages. But not everyone shared in the nations wealth. Unable to earn a sufficient income themselves, workingclass women were reliant on the breadwinner wage of their husbands. When income failed, or was denied or squandered by errant men, families could be plunged into desperate poverty from which there was no escape.Emma Griffin unlocks the homes of Victorian England to examine the lives and finances of the people who lived there. Drawing on over 600 workingclass autobiographies, including more than 200 written by women, Bread Winner changes our understanding of daily life in Victorian Britain.
