1884-1918
Scrapbook of press cuttings relating to women's work during the First World War. Those from the first c 40 pages of the book (mostly from 1884 to 1890s) have been deliberately removed [in order for the scrapbook to be re-used]. They appear to have covered a range of general political subjects and a manuscript index for these pages is included. The rest of the volume consists of press cuttings, 1916-1919 [from a press agency] on working women, including domestic servants, waitresses, laundry workers, policewomen, nurses, land girls, and also on general issues about the employment of women during the First World War; also included are some cuttings concerning women's emigration, the League of Nations and Armistice Day.
