  One of a series which examines the changes that have affected society during the 20th century. The text is combined with first-hand documentary information and contemporary photographs to give children insights into what life was like for their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Focusing on people's working lives, this book looks at the impact of sociological changes and developments in technology. From the sculleries of Edwardian houses to modern automated production lines, it explores what life was like for workers of all ages, and discusses the influences of two world wars, changes in employment laws and developments affecting women.
