SUMMARY:Women of the Durham Coalfield  By Margaret Hedley
DESCRIPTION:The success of the Durham Coalfield and its important role in the Industrial Revolution is attributed to men of influence who owned the land and the pits\, and men who worked in the coal-mining industry during the Victorian period.\nThere has been very little written about the importance of the home life that supported the miners – their wives who\, through heroic efforts\, did their best to provide attractive\, healthy\, happy home for their husbands\, often in appalling social conditions. To provide a welcoming atmosphere at home demanded tremendous resources and commitment from the miners’ wives. Despite their many hardships these women selflessly put everyone in the family before themselves. They operated on less rest\, less food at times of necessity and under the huge physical burden of work and the emotional burden of worry concerning the safety of their family.\nThis talk addresses the lack of information about the role of women in the Durham Coalfield\, engagingly explored through one woman’s experience.
