Working Girls: Fiction, Sexuality, and Modernity
Mullin, Katherine (Senior Lecturer in English Literature, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, University of Leeds)
Working Girls offers a cultural and literary history of telegraphists, typists, shop-girls, and barmaids. It argues that these occupations helped to shape a distinctively new identity for emancipated young women, and explores how authors used this to navigate a precarious literary landscape.
