All in a Day’s Work – DOWNLOAD Version

Description

The theme of ‘All in a Day’s Work’ is women at work in Coventry during the

twentieth century. Whether in a factory, an office, a workshop, in public

service or in the home, their contribution has always been significant. Many

worked hard all their lives to earn a living, both before and after marriage,

while continuing to run a home and bring up children. This book not only

looks at the jobs these women undertook, but the places in which they spent

their days. Factories such as Courtaulds, Bushill’s, GEC and many ribbon

weaving establishments no longer exist, but the experiences of the women

who worked in them should be preserved.
