Love and Toil: Motherhood in Outcast London, 1870-1918 by Ellen Ross

3.0

an easy read for one of my history classes. i only genuinely started enjoying this book starting from the second chapter. i just couldn't survive a whole chapter about food and dietary habits. otherwise, the author does a good job inserting personal accounts in between the facts and statistics. wish there were more stories, but that's what autobiographies and fiction are for
