Maids In A Market Garden (1912)

Maids in a Market Garden is a novel by Clotilde Graves, first published in 1912. The book is set in the early 20th century and follows the lives of two young women, Lizzie and Bessie, who work as maids in a market garden in the English countryside. The story explores themes of class, gender, and social mobility, as the two women navigate their way through the challenges of working in a male-dominated environment and strive to improve their lot in life. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including their fellow workers, the garden's owner and his family, and a group of suffragettes who are fighting for women's rights. The novel is a vivid portrayal of life in rural England at the turn of the century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and aspirations of working-class women during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
