Alice from Tooting : 1879-1977 Working Class Autobiography

Few working class women of Alice's generation wrote their autobiography, which includes harsh times in domestic service, gaining her ambition to become a nurse, marrying a widower and becoming a mother and step-mother and, eventually in old age living with her daughter Bertha in Chard.

As well as general readers, this book is sought for first-hand information about housing conditions, female employment and social circumstances during Alice's lifetime.
