First appearance of this essay Memories of a Working Women's Guild 121-138pp. which was revised by Woolf and presented as the introduction to LIFE AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT for The Hogarth Press a collection of essays wherein the lives of women who where engaged as domestic servants recount their lives and hope for equity. Mrs. Woolf is a bit disingenuous in her empathy for the struggles of the working woman as she herself had a rather testy life-long relationship with the very women she seeks here to elevate. To her credit she acknowledges she is patronizing "'the poor' 'the working classes'" and that she sits at a meeting of the Congress of the English Women's Co-operative Guild as a "benevolent spectator." There is also a complimentary review of Vita Sackville-West's THE EDWARDIANS p. viii and a rather vein-opening poem by Dorothy Parker follows Woolf's essay on p. 139. KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE C326.
