By the 1890's at least half a million women were involved in philanthropy, particularly in London. Slum Travelers, edited, annotated, and with a superb introduction by Ellen Ross, collects a fascinating array of the writings of these "lady explorers," who were active in the east, south, and central London slums from around 1870 until the end of World War I. Contributors range from the well known, including Annie Besant, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Beatrice Webb (then Potter), to the obscure. The collection reclaims an important group of writers whose representations of urban poverty have been eclipsed by better-known male authors such as Charles Dickens and Jack London. 606 $aWomen social reformers$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aWomen social reformers$zEngland$zLondon$vBiography 606 $aWomen in charitable work$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aPoor$xServices for$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aSocial problems$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $aannie besant. 610 $aanthology. 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $abeatrice potter webb. 610 $abritish history. 610 $abritish society. 610 $abritish writers. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aengland. 610 $aenglish ladies. 610 $aeurope. 610 $agender norms. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agreat britain. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $alate 19th century. 610 $alondon slums. 610 $alondon. 610 $alower classes. 610 $aphilanthropists. 610 $aphilanthropy. 610 $apoor. 610 $apoverty relief. 610 $apoverty. 610 $aslum life. 610 $asylvia pankhurst. 610 $aurban poverty. 610 $awealth and culture. 610 $awealth. 610 $aworld war i. 610 $awwi. 615 0$aWomen social reformers$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen social reformers 615 0$aWomen in charitable work$xHistory. 615 0$aPoor$xServices for$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial problems$xHistory. 676 $a362.5/5740922421 686 $aHL 1541$2rvk 701 $aRoss$b Ellen$0981508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809197703321 996 $aSlum travelers$94114588 997 $aUNINA
