    "Something to fall back on": women, work and education in seven Victorian high schools 1905-1945
    Biddington, Judith Lorraine ( 1993-12)
    This thesis examines seven Victorian high schools between 1905 and 1945 to see it the educational experiences provided there had an impact on the paid and unpaid working lives of the girls who attended. It outlines some of the theoretical problems associated with both the history of work and the education of girls and places these within the context of increased state involvement in society during this period.
