Books
Life Below Stairs in the Twentieth Century
Horn has made an impressive study of the labor issues and working conditions surrounding the employment of household workers in the 20th century. The research is outstanding, the writing clear and well-balanced. I highly recommend the book.
Life below stairs in the 20th century
By using reminiscences, official records and newspaper reports, this book considers the changing face of domestic service from 1918 to the eve of the new millennium.
High society
"An illustrated cultural history of drug use from its roots in animal intoxication to its future in designer neurochemicals"--Provided by publisher.
Life below stairs
"We view domestic service today as an undesirable job, owing to the class divide it has come to represent, and this is reflected in the portrayals of mistresses and servants in books and on the screen. But what do we really know about how girls felt when taking up these positions in other people's houses, or how they were treated? Pamela Horn uses first-hand accounts and reminiscences, as well as official records and newspaper reports, to extract the truth about the lives and status of men and women in domestic service from 1939 to the present." --Banc cover.
