A Secret History Of Women Home -Workers

Leeds University, Brotherton Gallery Exhibition.

An exhibition exploring the contested meanings of paid work performed by women in their own homes. A fusion of portrait photography and cutting edge historical research will be on display.

The display is created by photographer Leonora Saunders and historian Helen McCarthy. Each image re-imagines the life of a  woman who laboured  for pay in her own home, from the Victorian seamstress and Edwardian chain-maker to the post war childminder and late twentieth century entrepreneur.

The exhibition includes material from the FAN Archive.
