Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Bridget was the Irish immigrant servant girl who worked in American homes from the second half of the nineteenth century into the early years of the twentieth. She is widely known as a pop culture clich: the young girl who wreaked havoc in middleclass American homes. Now, in the first booklength treatment of the topic, Margaret LynchBrennan tells the real story of such Irish domestic servants, providing a richly detailed portrait of their lives and experiences. Drawing on personal correspondence and other primary sources, LynchBrennan gives voice to these young Irish women and celebrates their untold contribution to the ethnic history of the United States. In addition, recognizing the interest of scholars in contemporary domestic service, she devotes one chapter to comparing Bridgets experience to that of other ethnic women over time in domestic service in America.
