<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"You unlocked a drawer and took out a packet of papers. . . . Sometimes, you said, you got a letter which you could not bring yourself to burn; once or twice a Guildswoman had at your suggestion written a few pages about her life . . ." --Virginia Woolf to Margaret Llewelyn Davies, describing the circumstances leading to the publication of <em>Life as We Have Known It</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A first-hand record of working class women's experiences in early twentieth-century England, <em>Life as We Have Known It</em> is a unique view of lives Virginia Woolf described as "still half hidden in profound obscurity." The women write about growing up in poverty, going into domestic service, being a hat factory worker, or a miner's wife concerned about the colliery baths, and how they became politically active through the Women's Co-operative Guild movement. Virginia Woolf's essay contains her candid and searching reflections on the Guild's 1913 Congress, the women who spoke there, and the differences between their lives and hers.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Life As We Have Known It is a unique view of lives Virginia Woolf described as 'still half hidden in profound obscurity.' the women write about growing up in poverty, going into domestic service, being a hat factory worker, or a miner's wife concerned about the colliery baths, and how they become politically active through the Women's Co-operative Guild movement.
