Far From a Low Gutter Girl: The Forgotten World of State Wards, South Australia, 1887-1940 by Margaret Barbalet

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Some minor wear to book corners.

We hear the voice of domestic servants through the hundreds of letter written by the girls who were made state wards in South Australia from 1887 to 1940. These children were committed to state institutions because they had been abandoned or orphaned or had a parent in hospital, gaol or other institutions.
