Abstract (English)

Between 1853 and 1874 Hannah Cullwick, an English domestic servant, kept a diary and had photographs taken of herself, a practice which continued until shortly after her secret marriage to her employer. The documents survive as a valuable source for feminist historians. Dawkins' essay is a careful account of the socio-economic factors which produced these artifacts as well as a portrait in itself of an unusual strong and self-possessed female member of the Victorian working class. 9 bibl. ref.
