Abstract:
"Tracing the Victorian literary crisis over the representation of working-class women to the 1842 parliamentary blue book on mines and its controversial images of women at work, Hidden Hands argues that the female industrial worker became more dangerous to represent than the prostitute or the male radical because the worker exposed crucial contradictions between the class and gender ideologies of the period and its economic realities."--BOOK JACKET.
