Abstract

Ciarán McCabe's appraisal of charwomen in early twentieth -century Dublin tenements revealed large numbers of widow chars maintaining independent households. This initial quantitative demographic study of a one fifth sample of rural Berkshire charwomen, using raw data from the 1911 census, finds similarities with contemporary Dublin. Charring was often a response to financial imperatives, and migration played little part in the life of charwomen.

生存策略：伯克郡乡村的女性魅力

Ciarán McCabe对20世纪初都柏林公寓中的女管家的评估显示，大量寡妇维持着独立的家庭。这项最初的定量人口统计研究使用了1911年人口普查的原始数据，对五分之一的伯克郡农村女管家样本进行了研究，发现了与当代都柏林的相似之处。Charring通常是对财政需求的回应，而移民在charwomen的生活中几乎没有起到什么作用。
