Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the shocking reality of 'sweating', a term used to describe the exploitation of impoverished workers who toiled in appalling conditions for meager pay. The author juxtaposes the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthy with the plight of these laborers, highlighting the stark inequality that defined Victorian England. Through vivid accounts and extensive research, the author exposes the rampant abuse of women and children in various industries. The book explores the challenges faced by these workers in organizing for better conditions and analyzes the role of government intervention in mitigating their suffering. The author argues that the plight of 'sweated' workers is a symptom of a larger societal failure, and calls for reforms to uplift them from their misery. This thought-provoking book sheds light on a neglected chapter in history, offering valuable insights into the interplay between industrialization, poverty, and labor rights.
