No Job for a Little Girl

Description

Hanes y merched Cymreig a aeth i weini yn y cyfnod rhwng y ddau ryfel byd, wedi ei seilio ar atgofion y merched eu hunain yn dilyn cyfweliadau rhwng yr awdures Rosemary Scadden â nifer ohonynt. Cofnodir diflastod y gwaith, hierarchaeth dosbarth ynghyd â hiraeth ac anhapusrwydd y merched o orfod byw a gweithio ymhell o’u cynefin.
The true story of women in domestic service between the wars. Our fascination with societies and households united by social, class and occupational division continues unabated. The popularity of Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs and Gosford Park bears testimony to this and Rosemary Scadden’s study of Welsh girls in domestic service between the wars is sure to strike a chord.
