Servants and the Lady Help in Victorian Times
In Sydney a shortage of governesses and servants prompts reflections on the evolving role of the lady help. The author recalls Irish staff and a string of anecdotes about maids who fail to fit, the erosion of faithful service, and the idea that the class of houseworkers should be reformed. He argues for labor bureaus and criticizes pretensions, urging the abolition of the term lady help while defending a woman’s self-respect and social standing.
